Marchetti Talks New Housing, New Approaches for 2026

The mayor, halfway through his four-year term, is applauded after giving his State of the City address at Monday's reorganization of government.

PITTSFIELD, Mass.— Housing insecurity sparked passionate conversations at City Hall in 2025.

In 2026, some of that insecurity may be alleviated as Mayor Peter Marchetti expects new housing units to come online, along with partnerships to reach people in need.

By 2027, 255 new housing units are anticipated from various developers. Pittsfield has supported several projects through tax incentives, grant funding, and American Rescue Plan Act monies.

This includes 41 affordable units at Terrace 592 on North Street, 37 permanent supportive units at The First and on West Housatonic Street, 35 units (seven affordable) at the Wright Building on North Street, and home ownership projects undertaken by the Westside Legends.

"Since I took office as mayor, housing has been at the forefront of my agenda," the mayor said during his State of the City Address on Monday.

"I have had countless conversations with my colleagues from across the commonwealth about ways to meet the needs of our community, which include improving the aging housing stock and increasing the inventory of quality units. We have made great strides in housing over the past year, but I know we have a much longer road ahead."

He renewed his commitment to working with community partners and organizations in 2026 to address the needs of Pittsfield's most vulnerable residents through the exploration of new ideas and existing impactful ones.
