<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Martha, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beverly adopted an Inclusionary Ordinance in 2007 (written with the help of Judi Barrett) and made some amendments in 2016. You can find the language here:
<a href="https://ecode360.com/29285153" target="_blank">https://ecode360.com/29285153</a>. While the Ordinance anticipated a housing trust, we did not establish the Beverly Affordable Housing Trust until 2017 when we first started to bring in money from the
fee in lieu payment. Though Beverly has a Housing Authority, there is no connection between that organization and the Inclusionary Ordinance. I think our Ordinance has generally worked well and created approximately 75 affordable units. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2016 amendments both lowered the threshold for inclusionary housing from 10 units to 6 units and provided more options to reach greater affordability. For example, a developer could choose from 12% of units at 80% AMI, 8% of units at
60% AMI or a combination, where previously the only option was 12% at 80%, because strictly 80% AMI was not reaching the affordability we needed. We have found that most developments since the change are opting for the 60% AMI or combination. We will be taking
another look at how we can create/require even greater affordability / more units. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There has been some recent resistance in our community to the fee in lieu option (despite that generating $1m we have since invested in other affordable housing projects) and the "credit unit" option whereby a developer can take credit
for units offsite or on another site. The Fee in Lieu has not been used since we changed the calculations in 2017 (increased cost per unit). <o:p></o:p></p>
