Massachusetts Viviendas asequibles en riesgo: amenazas de inundaciones costeras y el aumento del nivel del mar

The document highlights that Massachusetts has the third most vulnerable affordable housing supply in the United States regarding future coastal flooding. By 2050, 4,818 affordable housing units in the state (2% of its supply) could be exposed to coastal flooding. Boston is identified as the most affected city, with an expected 400% increase in exposed units by 2050, reaching 3,042 units. The report notes that affordable housing is particularly vulnerable because it is often older, of lower quality, and lacks resilience features like flood protection.

• Massachusetts' affordable housing supply is ranked as the third most vulnerable in the United States in terms of units at risk from future coastal flooding.
• By 2050, 4,818 affordable housing units in Massachusetts, representing 2% of the state's affordable housing provision, could be exposed to coastal flooding.
• Boston faces a significant increase in risk; while it currently averages 609 exposed units, this is projected to rise by 400% to 3,042 units by 2050.
• Four cities in Massachusetts are ranked among the top 20 cities nationwide for the highest number of affordable housing units at risk by 2050.
