State Committees

State Committees provide support to our Association so that we can continue to have a seat at the table when it comes to legislative, regulatory and code reform efforts. Our committees work to keep housing on the top of the legislature’s agenda and build positive working relationships with members of the Massachusetts legislature. All members are encouraged to provide critical feedback to the HBRAMA Governmental Affairs Committee on important issues that affect your business.
