[Massplanners] Housing Production Plans

[Leah Zambernardi]

Hi all,

Just a follow up to the Housing Production Plan discussions to see how those cities/towns with HPP’s have funded them, as our current plan is expiring at the end of 2022.  Did you fund with CPC, Affordable Housing Trust funds, technical assistance grant, etc?  Just curious to see what our options are.  Thanks!

Hi all

A member of the Harvard Select Board (and Chair of Housing Trust) has asked me to reach out to the listserv and ask about recently completed Housing Production Plans.

If you have recently (2-4 years) had your plan completed, can you share with us:


  1.  How much your plan cost. $25,000. We are starting a new plan now. Ours is good through October 2022.
  2.  How long the process took. 6 months last time. Estimated 6 months again.
  3.  Who developed the plan (consultant, town, or hybrid)? Jen Goldson
  4.  If consultant, who did you use? Yes
  5.  Were you satisfied with the work of the consultant? Absolutely.
  6.  How much public outreach you included. If over COVID, did Zoom work well? We are going to do hybrid meetings.

Thanks in advance.

Chris R.
