Legalizing Mid-Rise Single-Stair Housing in Massachusetts
To address our housing challenges, we must confront barriers embedded in our regulations. Boston Indicators contracted with JCHS and Utile to produce a new report, Legalizing Mid-Rise Single-Stair Housing in Massachusetts, which we are excited to discuss at this upcoming report release event. The report takes a close look at the building code requirement that residential buildings between three and six stories must include two staircases. By exploring the potential for allowing single- staircase designs, particularly in smaller, urban parcels, this report examines how we could unlock new possibilities for more affordable, space-efficient housing.
