BOSTON — Moddie Turay, President and CEO of the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC), will bring a critical financial perspective to a major upcoming housing roundtable. The event, focusing on multifamily development, affordable housing, and the implications of the MBTA Communities Act, will feature Turay as a key speaker.

Turay’s extensive experience in housing finance is expected to provide crucial insights into the economic realities of building new housing stock. His leadership at MHIC, a specialized private lender and investor, positions him to address the capital and investment challenges essential for advancing both market-rate and affordable projects. The discussion is timely, as municipalities across the state grapple with new zoning mandates under the MBTA Communities Act, which requires serviced towns to permit multifamily housing by right near transit hubs.

The roundtable aims to dissect the practical hurdles and collaborative solutions needed to accelerate housing production. Turay’s participation underscores the fundamental link between accessible capital and successful development, highlighting how financial tools and policy must align to address the region's persistent housing shortage. The conversation will likely explore innovative financing models and the role of public-private partnerships in creating sustainable, inclusive communities across Greater Boston.
