“I’m a first-time homebuyer in the affordable housing program. I was drowning in rent increases, with no viable solution, and as a teacher on a low salary, there was no way for me to continue to be able to pay my basic bills. My rent was over 60% of my monthly salary.
The affordable housing program has been a life changer. Now, for the first time, at the age of 48, I am finally able to afford the cost of living in Cambridge, and I’m living in a safe home. Without the affordable housing program, I honestly don’t know where I’d be today.”
