Coalition to Create the MV Housing Bank

We are a citizens' campaign to establish a Housing Bank on Martha's Vineyard so we can guarantee housing on the island for years to come. Join us!

We created some noise today on Beacon Hill!

Thank you to @JulianCyr, @RepDylan, the 200+ people from MV + ACK who showed up in force to rally for the housing bank and local option transfer fees!! What a day. We are so grateful.

Today, 50 MVRHS Students & staff went to the State Building to support the #MVhousingbank - it is so important for us to help student's voices be heard about the need for housing on #marthasvineyard

Thank you to all who went today to be a part of history!

For the ultra-rich, paying a 2% fee on a multi-million dollar home is a rounding error. But for the working and middle class families in our communities, it is a lifeline to fund attainable housing in our local communities. Rallying with islanders in support of a Housing Bank!

We have made our way to the statehouse steps! Come support!

[Julian Cyr @JulianCyr]

The islanders are in the State House! 250 Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket community members traveled over land and sea today to advocate for a local option transfer fee on luxury real estate to fund local housing needs. TY @KarenSpilka & @LydiaMEdwards for speaking with us.

[George Brennan @gpb227]

Now ⁦@RepDylan⁩ is addressing the rally. Vows to get a transfer fee passed. ⁦@CCMVHB⁩ #marthagoestoBeaconHill

Martha’s Vineyard has arrived at the Statehouse. We need affordable and workforce housing yesterday. We’re hoping this tremendous showing will make a difference. #marthagoestoBeaconHill @CCMVHB @mvhospital2020 @JulianCyr @RepDylan @maura_healey

So happy @mvhospital2020 has representation with us today! Thank you George. #MarthaGoestoBeaconHill

Headed to Beacon Hill with bus loads of Vineyarders to promote a transfer fee to fund a Housing Bank. I’m representing Martha’s Vineyard Hospital where the lack of affordable housing makes it difficult to recruit and retain staff. #marthagoestoBeaconHill
