DARTMOUTH — A newly created state agency charged with the Herculean task of addressing the state housing crisis has taken to the road to seek input.

 

The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities was established in 2023 by Gov. Maura Healey to create more homes and lower housing costs to state residents.

 

Secretary Ed Augustus and agency officials are making 14 stops around the state to solicit feedback by folks in the front lines dealing with housing issues, which is, preeminently, a lack of housing.
