Information - Through the publication of a monthly newsletter, the Association provides local housing and community development officials and agencies within Massachusetts information concerning pertinent Federal and State legislation, issues impacting housing and community development programs, and newsworthy items of importance to the Association's membership. Broad-based policy changes are also included in order that all members may be aware of current State and Federal viewpoints towards various housing and community development issues and ideas.
Professionalism - MassNAHRO attempts, through the dissemination of information and the utilization of expert trainers, to bring a higher degree of professionalism to those engaged in the areas of housing and community development.
