Can Mass. hit its housing goals? (Ft. Housing Sec. Juana Matias)

Gov. Maura Healey’s administration estimates that the state will need 222,000 by 2035 to deal with existing needs and population growth. Her new housing secretary, Juana Matias, says we can meet that goal, and joins CommonWealth Beacon reporter Jennifer Smith to talk about chipping away at decades of sluggish housing production. Matias, who was a state representative and regional administration at HUD, discusses what she’d like to see come from the end-of-session rush and how the state can weather federal pullbacks on fair housing an public housing.
