The Massachusetts House approved their version of a sweeping housing bill late Wednesday, seeking to build on proposed legislation unveiled by Gov. Maura Healey last year designed to rev up the creation and renovation of affordable housing.
One thing the bill doesn't include is a proposal by Healey that would give cities and towns the authority to approve taxes on high-end property sales with the money going to pay for affordable housing. The bill includes $1 billion to allow for the expansion of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority water system, a key investment needed to help spur housing development outside the greater Boston area, supporters said.
