[Massplanners] Chapter 40B: Revised Housing Production Plan goals and FAQ's/ Memo.

[DeMartino, Phillip (EOHLC)]

The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) is informing communities with valid Housing Production Plans (HPP) that their HPP production goals may have been impacted by the release of year-round housing units' data from the latest available decennial Census, which is currently the 2020 Census.  For background purpose, Housing Production Plans are part of the Chapter 40B regulations.  HPPs are a proactive strategy for planning and developing affordable housing.  Communities may be certified (in safe harbor) for one year (0.5% increase) or two years (1% increase) in accordance with 760 CMR 56.03(4)(f) and the HPP guidelines.   EOHLC has released revised HPP production goals for all 351 municipalities and in order to assist communities to understand the impact of the 2020 Census data on HPP and SHI goals, EOHLC has also developed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).  The revised HPP Production goals can be found here: https://www.mass.gov/doc/hpp-production-goals-2020-census/download <https://www.mass.gov/doc/hpp-production-goals-2020-census/download> and the FAQ's and memo can be found here: https://www.mass.gov/doc/2020-hpp-goals-and-faq-memo-05062024/download
