Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity is a key component of the MassHousing mission. We value diverse business ideas, experiences and perspectives and their ability to transform the delivery of affordable housing. We promote various opportunities throughout the diverse business sectors and expect our partners in the housing industry to embrace the same.

  • We are committed to partnering with diverse businesses while helping them sustain and grow their companies.
  • We actively cultivate and value our relationships with diverse business owners.

MassHousing's contracts for goods and services are based on the best combination of total cost, quality and service. This allows a level playing field for all potential and existing suppliers and gives us a strong, varied base of goods and services to support our daily operations.

Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we provide opportunities to diverse businesses that are at least 51% owned by a minority team member, a woman team member, and/or a veteran team member.

We are committed, and you are valued!
