Alie will help support nonprofits and city agencies that expand access to affordable housing, rental assistance, and services for our low-income neighbors and families at risk of homelessness.

A modern, reliable MBTA keeps Quincy moving and supports good jobs and a growing economy. Alie will work with Mayor Koch and other government officials to make sure investments continue to reach our neighborhoods and that they make sense for Quincy families.

He will encourage programs that reduce poverty, expand access to mental health and substance use treatment, and give young people positive pathways.

He will work to reduce red tape, expand access to capital, and offer technical assistance so neighborhood businesses can grow and hire right here in Quincy.

Working with his colleagues on the City Council, he will support programs for working families to help them buy their first homes, including financial education, mortgage help, and partnerships with state and federal programs. He will push for balanced development and smart zoning to create housing for working families while protecting neighborhood character.

Alie will push to expand affordable, accessible housing options so seniors can stay close to family and community. He’ll fight for programs and services that help seniors live well at home for as long as possible.
