The House and Senate have both passed their own versions of a housing bond bill, known as the Affordable Homes Act, and now must reconcile the two versions in Conference Committee. Both bills propose more than $5 billion in capital authorizations, significantly more than the record $4.1 billion proposal from Governor Healey; and put forward a myriad of housing policy provisions, many of which were originally proposed by the Governor. 

This Bulletin compares the fiscal and policy differences between the House and Senate bills and makes recommendations for resolution in Conference Committee.
