Many core housing support services are available through numerous agencies and organizations that provide lower-cost, subsidized housing for those who cannot afford market-rate rents or home prices.
Other organizations that are involved in providing affordable housing and social services for low-income persons are the Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and Community Action Agencies.
The Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations (MACDC) is a trade association of over 65 non-profit, community-based organizations that seek to revitalize low and moderate income communities across the Commonwealth. It supports community development corporations (CDCs) in their efforts to encourage social change and empower poor and working class people through activities such as affordable housing development and rehabilitation, commercial real estate development, employment training, small business development, and community organizing.
Since its incorporation in 1982, MACDC has engaged in a range of activities that strengthen the ability of member CDCs to carry out their respective missions. Its current efforts include advocating for support in the public policy arena and from private institutions, running programs that build CDC capacity, and educating the public about the community development movement.
The Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations has information about member CDCs at:

The Massachusetts Community Action Program Directors' Association (MASSCAP) is a statewide association of the 25 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) operating in Massachusetts. Through the combined skills and vision of its members, MASSCAP works to enhance the ability of each agency to better serve its clients. MASSCAP works with the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development and other state agencies to open doors to self-sufficiency for low-income Massachusetts residents.
Community Action Agencies (CAAs, also known as Community Action Programs or CAPs) are private, non-profit human service and advocacy organizations that were established by Congress over 30 years ago. CAAs provide emergency assistance to people in crisis; address the causes of poverty through programs that fight unemployment, inadequate housing, poor nutrition, and lack of educational opportunity; and provide training in advocacy skills.
