The word "MassCan" is a play on "Maskan" which is the Farsi and Arabic word for "housing".MassCan Capital was established in 2023 with the purpose of tackling the pressing issue of housing shortage across the country.The current state of housing affordability is one of the most pressing issues that our nation is facing. Despite the booming demand and pre-existing housing deficit, our country has yet to effectively address this problem. The long-neglected middle-income segment of the population is facing even bigger challenges as the country recovers from the pandemic. Due to increased construction costs and rising interest rates, the production of new housing has slowed down, making it harder to find attainable housing that is close to reliable public transportation, especially in the eastern New England region. MassCan Capital is committed to addressing this growing crisis by focusing on low and middle-income residents, particularly those who earn between 60% and 140% of the local area median income (AMI).
