<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p>
