B6. Local Resources for Housing
Bonus 6. Local Resources for Housing
The City supports affordable housing with substantial funding from our Community Development Block
Grant, our Community Preservation Act, our limited development program, and our donation and
bargain sale of land for affordable housing.
Attached are recent examples from this fall:
1. Deed to three lots donated to Habitat for Humanity this fall for three affordable units.
2. Deed to three lots bargain sold to Emerson Way LLC this fall for six affordable units.
3. Affordable housing restriction closed on this fall from North Commons for 53 units (39
affordable and the rest workforce housing) which was supported by CPA and CDBG funding.
This included $250,000 in CPA funding for North Commons and $200,000 in CPA funding and
$150,000 in CDBG funding that could be used for North Commons and/or another affordable
housing project (35 Village Hill with 12 affordable units) at the joint developers choosing.
