Massachusetts has a huge wait list for affordable housing.

But a new WBUR and ProPublica investigation found a surprising number of state-owned affordable housing units are vacant.

WBUR investigations correspondent Todd Wallack and Annette Duke, an attorney at the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, joined us earlier this week to tell us about it.

This segment aired on September 21, 2023.
