<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wanted to let you know about the re-launch of MassHousing’s Planning for Housing Production Program. This program provides cities and towns with the technical capacity needed to implement local planning and transform priority development
sites into new affordable homes! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this program, MassHousing will fund pre-development activities on priority housing development sites by contracting directly with third-party consultants then matching consultants with municipalities based on their respective expertise
and local needs. The program prioritizes the reuse and redevelopment of municipally-owned properties; exceptionally positioned privately-owned sites may also be eligible for funding. Grant funds will support predevelopment planning activities that create development-ready
sites, including technical assistance with a municipally-led RFP process. In all cases, technical assistance funding will prioritize the robust public engagement needed to build pro-housing constituencies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. You can find more information or apply
<a href="https://www.masshousing.com/en/programs-outreach/planning-programs/planning-housing-production">
here</a>! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are holding a virtual information session on <b>February 28<sup>th</sup> at 1:00pm.
</b>You can register for this information session <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwtde-qrzMqGNPukoRT_sp5BSbzIBuTKdGT">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MassHousing is also accepting responses to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to re-establish a list of qualified consultants to provide planning technical assistance. The RFQ is available
<a href="https://www.masshousing.com/en/about/rfp">here</a>. Submittals are due by
