麻州報喜訊2025建住宅45,000戶 首年就達10年目標的15.3%
（Boston Orange編譯）麻州政府今（25）日報喜，「2025至2035年新建22萬2000戶」計畫推出第一年，已於2025年新增逾3萬4500戶住宅，完成整體目標的15.3%。
根據美國人口普查局（Census Bureau）最新的住宅地址統計，麻州住宅地址總數從2024年11月的307萬3303戶，增至2025年11月的310萬7864戶，淨增逾3萬4500戶。由於新建住宅通常在開發流程末期才取得門牌地址，此指標被視為衡量「已完工、可入住」住宅數量最具代表性的數據之一，可信度優於以往各方慣用、常有漏報問題的建築許可調查數據。
麻州州長奚莉（Maura Healey）上任以來，一直把增加住宅供給、壓低居住成本列為施政核心。任內推動通過「平價住宅法（Affordable Homes Act）」、發佈麻州首個全州性的「居者有其屋（A Home for Everyone）」住宅計畫，正式開放建造附屬住宅單元（ADU），並啟動「州有地建宅（State Land for Homes）」計畫，盤點各地公有土地的建宅潛力。奚莉州長表示，現階段仍有更多工作待完成，包括協助更多首購族圓夢、取消令租屋族困擾的各項費用，持續讓麻州對各年齡層居民更加可負擔。
麻州住宅與宜居社區廳（Housing and Livable Communities）廳長馬提亞斯（Juana Matias）指出，過去麻州351個城鎮各有獨立的都市計畫委員會與建築督察，從未有過全面又準確的全州建屋數據，這還是第一次有了一個完整的整合數據。
麻州政府正同步上線「全州建屋進度查詢平台（Housing Production Tracker）」互動平台，供民眾、研究人員與地方官員查詢各城鎮的建屋進度，資料將每年更新。民眾可至麻州官網（mass.gov）查閱相關資訊。
Massachusetts Achieves Early Progress Toward 10-Year Housing Production Goal
New interactive tracker provides the first statewide look at housing production in all 351 Massachusetts communities; shows 34,500 new homes completed in 2025
The new data shows Massachusetts is already more than 15 percent of the way toward meeting the housing production target established in the state's first-ever housing plan, “A Home for Everyone,” which outlines a comprehensive strategy to build more homes, lower costs and expand housing opportunities across the state. The Healey-Driscoll Administration also launched a new statewide housing production tracker that allows residents, researchers and local officials to view housing production data for every city and town in Massachusetts for the first time. .png)

“We know that we need to build more homes to lower costs across the state. This new data shows that we are making serious progress and helping more families, workers, seniors and young people afford homes in their communities,” said Governor Maura Healey. “But we know there is more work to do. It’s why we’re getting after it every day to increase housing production, help more people become first-time homebuyers, eliminate burdensome renters' fees, and make Massachusetts more affordable for everyone.”
“Housing costs remain one of the biggest challenges facing communities across our state, but this data shows that we are making meaningful progress,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “Adding nearly 35,000 homes in a single year is an important milestone, and it reflects the commitment of local leaders, planners, builders and residents who are helping create more housing opportunities in every region of Massachusetts. We know there is more work to do, and we're committed to keeping up the momentum.”
“A Home for Everyone” identified the need for 222,000 additional homes by 2035 to help address housing shortages, expand opportunity and lower costs for residents across the state. In the first year of tracking, Massachusetts added more than 34,500 homes, representing approximately 15.3 percent of that goal.
The Administration has now launched a new interactive housing production tracker that allows residents, researchers and local officials to see housing production data for every city and town in Massachusetts. The tool provides the first statewide picture of housing deliveries in all Massachusetts communities and will be updated annually.
There are many ways to track housing production activity: new projects proposed, funding awarded, and building permits issued. In August 2025, HLC estimated that approximately 90,400 homes had passed one of those milestones since the Administration took office in January 2023. But with 351 different planning boards and building inspectors, Massachusetts has never had a comprehensive and accurate picture of housing production in the state – until now.
“Reliable data is essential to understanding where we are making progress and where more work remains,” said Juana Matias, Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities. “This tracker will help us measure housing production across Massachusetts as we work to increase supply and lower costs, while also providing researchers, policymakers, and residents with a transparent view of what's happening in their communities.”
Using new Census Bureau data, the Healey-Driscoll Administration has found that the number of residential addresses in Massachusetts increased from 3,073,303 in November 2024 to 3,107,864 in November 2025, a net gain of more than 34,500 homes. The Census Bureau’s new metric measures residential address counts by block. Because homes typically receive addresses near the end of the development process, the data provides one of the clearest available measures of homes that have been completed and are ready for occupancy.
This data is currently the best available source of information on housing deliveries. Many stakeholders have relied on the Census Bureau's Building Permit Survey to assess housing development activity, but this data is often incomplete or underreported and does not provide an indication of when or whether homes were actually completed.
Governor Healey has made increasing housing production and lowering housing costs a top priority since taking office. Over the past three years, the Administration secured passage of the Affordable Homes Act, released Massachusetts' first statewide housing plan, legalized accessory dwelling units (ADUs) by right statewide, launched the State Land for Homes initiative that has identified opportunities for thousands of new housing units, and worked with local communities across Massachusetts to support new housing production. Together, these efforts are helping to increase housing supply, lower costs and expand housing opportunities for residents across the state.

美最高法院允許川普終止海地、敘利亞「暫時受保護身份」Healey 州長、吳弭市長發聲明譴責

最高法院多數意見認為，創設TPS制度的聯邦法律明確排除司法審查，法院無權干涉國土安全部長終止TPS的決定。法官卡根（Elena Kagan）等的少數意見在異議書中批評，此裁決形同允許當局將TPS持有人「直接送上驅逐出境的飛機」。
此案直接衝擊的是海地與敘利亞兩國TPS持有者。全美約有33萬海地人為TPS持有者，至少5萬名具美國公民身份兒童，其父母之一為海地TPS持有者。敘利亞TPS持有者則為約6,100人。

大波士頓是全美第三大海地人聚居地，約8萬名海地人，其中持TPS者約3,700人，是地方上醫療、交通等產業的重要勞動力。若以整個麻州來看，持TPS的海地人逾4萬5千人。

本次裁決雖僅直接針對海地與敘利亞兩國，但影響層面更為深遠。川普政府迄今已宣佈意圖終止多達13個國家的TPS資格，包括委內瑞拉（Venezuela）、阿富汗（Afghanistan）等。目前原本受TPS保護的17個國家中，阿富汗、喀麥隆（Cameroon）、宏都拉斯（Honduras）、尼加拉瓜（Nicaragua）、尼泊爾（Nepal）的TPS已陸續於2025年正式終止，緬甸（Burma）、索馬利亞（Somalia）、南蘇丹（South Sudan）等國的TPS則因移民團體提起訴訟、法院暫時介入而維持現狀，但前景仍不明朗。
法律分析人士指出，最高法院這次的裁決等同宣告TPS的終止與否純屬行政裁量，法院無從置喙，意味著其餘數十萬TPS持有者的命運，將完全取決於白宮的政治意志，再無司法救濟的餘地。
吳弭呼籲國會立即立法，為TPS持有者提供永久居留及入籍的明確管道，並以海地克里奧爾語（Haitian Creole）作結：「Ansanm, nou pi fò」——「團結一心，我們更強大」。 （更新版）
MAYOR MICHELLE WU STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT TEMPORARY PROTECED STATUS RULING
BOSTON - Thursday, June 25, 2025 - Mayor Michelle Wu releases the following statement:
“The City of Boston condemns this decision by Donald Trump’s enablers on the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the administration to end protections for TPS holders. This ruling is as cruel as it is lawless. The justices have ignored the findings of our own government in a decision that will put lives in grave danger.
Here in Boston, thousands of Haitians live and work under Temporary Protected Status. Families have built their lives here, and our communities are better for it. They care for our loved ones, teach our little ones, staff our hospitals, drive our buses, and lead us in worship. Above all: they are our neighbors, and this is their home.
America has needed serious immigration reform for over a generation. Instead of doing the hard work to improve the asylum system and create pathways to citizenship, the Trump Administration is targeting people who came here seeking safety from violence. Today this politically-motivated attack was given legal blessing by the MAGA majority on the court.
Boston will never back down from protecting our neighbors. We urge Congress to act now to provide permanent solutions and a pathway to citizenship for TPS holders. Ansanm, nou pi fò.”

Statement from Governor Maura Healey on Supreme Court Decision Allowing Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians
Governor Healey, AG Campbell to hold press conference at 2:30 pm today at Massachusetts State House
BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision allowing President Trump to move forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrians:
“Today's decision upholding Donald Trump’s cruel and harmful policy makes absolutely no sense and only serves to hurt our immigrant families, our communities, and our economy. Massachusetts stands with our Haitian and Syrian communities today and every day.
“Donald Trump is ripping away protections from families and children who have fled devastating earthquakes, violence and other humanitarian crises to build safe, productive lives here in Massachusetts and across the country. These are people who are raising families, paying taxes, caring for our loved ones, opening businesses and filling critical jobs. Haitian and Syrian immigrants are our neighbors, coworkers, caregivers, health care workers, business owners and friends. They have become part of the fabric of our communities and a foundation of our economy. They deserve better than this, and I know our country is better than this.
“My administration is reviewing the full implications of this decision and will continue working closely with Attorney General Campbell, community organizations, employers and state agencies to support affected families. Massachusetts will continue standing up for all of our communities and the values that make our state and our country so strong."
Governor Healey and Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell will be holding a press conference today at 2:30 pm in room 157 of the Massachusetts State House in response to this ruling. The press conference will also be livestreamed on YouTube.
Massachusetts is home to one of the largest Haitian communities in the United States, and Haitian TPS holders contribute significantly to the state's workforce and economy, including in health care, elder care, hospitality, education and other critical industries. Today’s decision also impacts Syrians in the United States under TPS. Previous decisions have impacted Central Americans, Venezuelans, and others who cannot return safely to their countries and continue to need these protections.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration is reviewing the Court's decision and coordinating with state agencies, community organizations and legal service providers to provide accurate information and support to impacted individuals and families. Impacted individuals are encouraged to seek guidance from trusted legal service providers regarding their specific circumstances. Additional
Statement from Senate
(BOSTON—6/25/2026) Today,
"America is strongest when it protects those seeking our help—not when it turns them away.
As the grandchild of immigrants who came here fleeing political violence, I am deeply saddened and outraged at the Supreme Court's decision to allow the Trump Administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian residents.
Temporary Protected Status was created to provide hope and relief to those fleeing nations devastated by war, natural disasters, or political collapse. Today's ruling places families at risk of immediate harm and destabilizes communities across the country, including right here at home.
I stand with our immigrant neighbors, and call on Congress to act to uphold the values of compassion and freedom that make America truly great — and restore these protections."
麻州出現本季第一宗西尼羅病蚊樣本
State Public Health Officials Announce Season’s First West Nile Virus-Positive Mosquito Sample
Residents urged to use bug spray when outdoors
BOSTON (June 25, 2026) – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) today announced that West Nile virus (WNV) has been detected in mosquitoes in Massachusetts for the first time this year. The presence of WNV was confirmed by the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory in a mosquito sample collected on June 16 in the town of Clarksburg in Berkshire County.
“With warmer weather and summer officially beginning this week, it is the time of year when we typically begin detecting West Nile virus in mosquito populations,” said Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD. “These findings serve as an important reminder that people should take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites. WNV can cause serious illness, especially in those who are more vulnerable. Taking simple measures such as using a mosquito repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient, wearing clothing to reduce exposed skin, draining standing water, and repairing window screens can help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illness throughout the summer.”
WNV is usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. There were nine human cases of WNV in 2025. No human or animal cases of WNV have been detected so far this year. No evidence of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) has been found so far this season. There were no human cases of EEE in 2025.
While WNV can infect people of all ages, people over the age of 50 are at higher risk for severe disease. Most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. When present, WNV symptoms tend to include fever and flu-like illness. In rare cases, more severe illness can occur.
“With West Nile virus, it is difficult to predict the amount of activity we will see,” said State Epidemiologist Dr. Catherine M. Brown. “We encourage everyone to make it a habit to check the mosquito-borne diseases webpages on mass.gov so you know when and where WNV activity is occurring in the state.”
Avoid Mosquito Bites
Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Use a repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient (DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus (p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) or IR3535) according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children. Oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years of age.
Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during the evening or early morning in areas of high risk.
Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wearing long sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away from your skin.
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by either draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty any unused flowerpots and wading pools and change the water in birdbaths frequently.
Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly fitting screens on all your windows and doors.
Protect Your Animals
Animal owners should reduce potential mosquito breeding sites on their property by eliminating standing water from containers such as buckets, tires, and wading pools – especially after heavy rains. Water troughs provide excellent mosquito breeding habitats and should be flushed out at least once a week during the summer months to reduce mosquitoes near paddock areas. Horse owners should keep horses in indoor stalls at night to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquitoes. Owners should also speak with their veterinarian about mosquito repellents approved for use in animals and vaccinations to prevent WNV and EEE. If an animal is suspected of having WNV or EEE, owners are required to report to the Department of Agricultural Resources, Division of Animal Health by calling 617-626-1795, and to the Department of Public Health by calling 617-983-6800.
More information, including all WNV and EEE positive results, can be found on the Arbovirus Surveillance Information web page at Mosquito-borne Diseases | Mass.gov, which is updated daily, or by calling the DPH Division of Epidemiology at 617-983-6800.

“Boston is taking every step to create more housing while expanding workforce opportunities for residents, and the Mildred C. Hailey project shows how we can do both through thoughtful redevelopment,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “As we continue to invest in new homes and reconnect this neighborhood, we’re also investing in the supports that help residents move forward—with training and access to good jobs—so that this progress leads to lasting financial stability for families.”
In addition to creating housing, the first phase of the redevelopment of Mildred C. Hailey also creates a new community center named in honor of Anna Mae Cole, a transformational tenant leader who dedicated her life to empowering residents in the Mildred C. Hailey community. The redevelopment also ensures residents have access to a new ground-floor commercial space and the creation of Lamartine Street will increase neighborhood connectivity and smoother travel for residents, families and visitors. The two modern, sustainable buildings delivered through this project provide 91 deeply affordable units and 132 units of affordable and moderate income housing.
“Today’s ribbon cutting marks the completion of 223 new homes for Boston residents,” said BHA Administrator Kenzie Bok. “And at the Boston Housing Authority, we know that building strong communities means investing not only in buildings but in people. This $3.95 million in workforce development funding from HUD and the Cummings Foundation is going to transform the trajectory of residents’ lives, ensuring that alongside stable housing, they have stable, good-paying, and rewarding careers. Together, these investments in housing and economic mobility will create lasting benefits for generations of Bostonians.”
Mayor Wu also announced two important investments from city and federal sources to support workforce development for low-income residents citywide. With a $250,000 investment from the Cummings Foundation, the City is creating a new site for workforce training of proven-risk young adults at Mildred C. Hailey, with programming open to all eligible Boston residents. In addition, the City has also received $3.7 million through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Jobs Plus Initiative, which aims to connect public housing residents with employment, education and financial empowerment services. The investment will create three additional sites for workforce training and career coaching at the BHA’s Ruth Barkley, Alice Taylor, and Franklin Field communities.
“Cummings Foundation is delighted to support the Opportunity Hub, which will bring proven adult education, workforce training, and career support directly to the Mildred C. Hailey community,” said Joyce Vyriotes, executive director of Cummings Foundation. “This initiative reflects the kind of practical, community-based investment that can help residents build skills, access opportunity, and move toward safer, more stable futures.”
The partners for this initiative include the BHA, the Office of Workforce Development (OWD), ABCD, Private Industry Council (PIC), Best Hospitality Training, Lisc Massachusetts, Building Pathways, New England Culinary Arts Training, PowerCorps, EMPath, Roxbury Community College, Santander Bank, Boston Medical Center, Whittier Street Health Center, the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC), and Greater Boston Legal Services.
“This investment comes at the perfect time, as the Office of Violence Prevention and Boston Housing Authority continue to fund strategic new ways to work together. This brings resources directly to youth and young adults who deserve to see these types of investments in their immediate neighborhoods. Moreover, this is also an investment in Boston’s Live Long and Well population health equity agenda that aims to improve life expectancy and reduce racial and ethnic health disparities and also our long-term Plan to End Violence,” said Isaac Yablo, Senior Advisor for Community Safety and Director of Boston Public Health Commission’s Office of Violence Prevention.
Together, the $3.95 million in awarded funding will connect residents with workforce development training, individual career counseling, and case management. This will allow students to build job readiness, identify and secure employment, and be successful in the workplace. This funding builds on the City’s ongoing efforts led by the City’s Worker Empowerment Cabinet to expand workforce development opportunities and ensure residents across neighborhoods are connected to resources.
“Today’s ribbon cutting at 2 and 6 Lamartine marks far more than the completion of new buildings, it represents a meaningful reinvestment in a community with a proud history and a strong future,” said Andy Waxman, Senior Vice President of Real Estate Development for TCB. “Through deep partnership and resident leadership, we’ve created 223 modern, energy-efficient homes while ensuring that longtime residents can remain and thrive. With the reopening of the Anna Mae Cole Center and new spaces for connection and opportunity, this milestone reflects our shared commitment to building a more inclusive and connected Boston.”
"Creating more housing and expanding economic opportunity are essential to Massachusetts' long-term success," said Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley. "The Commonwealth is proud to have invested in the Mildred C. Hailey redevelopment to support new affordable and workforce housing, community improvements, and workforce development opportunities. This project demonstrates the impact of strong partnerships in creating opportunity for residents and strengthening communities."
“MassHousing is pleased to be part of this transformative redevelopment of the Mildred Hailey Apartments and is excited for the residents who now have quality, affordable rental homes,” said MassHousing CEO Chrystal Kornegay.

Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council Awards $52 Million in Tax Credits to Businesses to Create, Retain Jobs
Projects will create 2,793 new jobs, retain 1,503 existing jobs, and spur more than $1.4 billion in private investment
BOSTON - The Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council (EACC) approved 11 projects for participation in the Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP) at the June meetings of the EACC. EDIP is a program administered by the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (MOBD) that seeks to create new jobs and help businesses grow by offering tax credits in exchange for job creation commitments. These projects are expected to create 2,793 net new jobs, retain 1,503 existing jobs statewide, and leverage more than $1.4 billion in private investment in exchange for $52 million in state tax credits.
“Massachusetts continues to be a place where businesses choose to invest, grow and create jobs,” said Governor Maura Healey. “These projects will support more than 2,700 new jobs, retain over 1,500 existing jobs and leverage over $1.4 billion in private investment across our state. Through the Economic Development Incentive Program, we're helping companies expand, strengthening local economies and creating good jobs in communities across Massachusetts.”
“The companies supported by these awards are Team Massachusetts success stories,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “They are choosing to invest and grow in Massachusetts, from Gateway Cities to rural communities and everywhere in between, and we are committed to helping them succeed.”
“The Economic Development Incentive Program is one of the state’s most effective tools for supporting business expansion and job creation,” said Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley. “From robotics and artificial intelligence to advanced manufacturing and life sciences, these companies are making long-term commitments to grow here. That's a strong vote of confidence in Massachusetts as a place where innovation can scale and businesses can succeed.”
EDIP is designed to support business expansion and job creation by offering performance-based tax credits in exchange for commitments to create new jobs, retain existing employees, and invest capital. Ten of the projects approved are manufacturers and six are located in Gateway Cities.
The EDIP certified projects approved during today’s meeting include:
Field AI/AI for Humanity Inc. – Cambridge
Field AI develops AI software enabling robots to operate fully autonomously in complex, GPS-denied environments. Field AI is expanding its Boston research and development operations through a significant multi-phase investment, including leasing a new facility with 20,000 to 25,000 square feet to establish a dedicated robot testing and development center that will result in 36 net new permanent fulltime jobs. The EACC approved $450,000 in EDIP tax credits.
Blue Collar Customs LLC – West Bridgewater
Blue Collar Customs upfits commercial fleet vehicles with equipment, lighting, and graphics. The company will expand operations from its existing 12,000 sq. ft. facility into a new 100,000 square foot building to support continued growth in commercial vehicle upfitting. The company will hire 18 additional employees. The EACC approved $180,000 in EDIP tax credits.
Boston Dynamics - Waltham
Boston Dynamics develops and deploys highly mobile robots. The company will renovate existing space and develop new space totaling approximately 330,000 sf at 1601 Trapelo Road in Waltham to create a world-leading mobility and robotics center that will be principally used for training new advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence talent, for expanding manufacturing capacity and for consolidating existing manufacturing operations (currently located in three buildings). The company will invest $100 million in the project location and, by 2030, will create 1,250 new full-time jobs for manufacturing operations personnel, research and development personnel, software developers, and others in supporting roles. The EACC approved $25,000,000 in EDIP tax credits.
CD Projekt RED – Watertown
