Massachusetts Union of Public Housing Tenants (Mass. Union) is the oldest state-wide association of public housing tenants in the United States. Its thirteen-member board is elected from tenants who live in public or subsidized housing. Born of a sense of frustration, anger and hopelessness, fed by a need for justice, basic human rights and decent living conditions, the union now grows in the knowledge that information perseverance and community strength can create a decent future, pride in one’s community and the understanding that individuals banded together for a just cause can affect and change any situation.

Since 2005, Mass. Union has provided fiscal sponsorship and administrative support to BRTI.
