The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), formerly known as the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), was established in 2023 to create more homes and lower housing costs for Massachusetts residents. EOHLC also distributes funding to municipalities, oversees the state-aided public housing portfolio, and operates the state's Emergency Family Shelter (EA) program.
