The Mass Alliance Against Predatory Lending (MAAPL) consists of a coalition of over 60 member organizations, as well as a number of endorsing organizations. Among the member organizations are housing counseling agencies, legal services groups, social service agencies, and community-based social action groups. All have come together to work on the foreclosure crisis in Massachusetts. We are focusing our work on: 

• Legislative initiatives: including judicial foreclosure, mandatory mediation, just cause eviction post-foreclosure, and other pre- and post-foreclosure protections for tenants and homeowners;
• Organizing to prevent eviction of tenants and resident homeowners who are paying their rents in foreclosed properties;
• Providing education to homeowners and tenants regarding their rights, as well as educating the general public regarding the predatory and discriminatory practices of lenders and financial institutions;
• Working to ensure that foreclosed properties can be acquired as affordable housing by non-profits and other entities.

The Alliance shares information among, and coordinates the activities of, its member organizations and, where possible, speaks with a united voice on behalf of victims of the foreclosure crisis and against predatory lending practices.

You can reach us by phone or fax at 508-630-1686 or visit our Contact Us page.
