We have a large 40B development pending MassHousing comments and Eligibility Review. We are interested in making sure that we don't qualify for safe harbor due to the areas in use for affordable housing in town. Has anyone worked with a consultant who does this calculation? It's very specific and GIS heavy, exceeding our in house capacity.
Thank you,
Alison

We have worked on it several times alongside Stantec for developers (successfully in litigation I might add) as it is both title work and mapping. Happy to take a look. Lynne

Alison,
We just finished calculating our ?GLAM.? Unfortunately, we can?t get a final figure because you cannot ask the state to provide the Group Homes percentages until you have an active 40B filing before the town. However, we have a good idea where the group homes are, and with the help of our GIS provider - CAI Technologies ? we came up with a final percentage that was so far off from the 1.5% minimum needed for safe harbor that we can safely rule out having to do the GLAM calculations until we multiply the amount of our existing land covered by affordable housing by 10.
