CPA Projects – Detailed Report

This project supports the Town's participation in a Shared Housing Services Organization (SHSO) to track, administer, support, and promote affordable housing. The Shared Housing Services Organization (SHSO) is a collaboration with seven other communities to augment existing staff capacity by providing the expertise and staffing needed to manage and monitor the affordable housing track on a continual basis. The SHSO would provide Monitoring Services to ensure and enforce compliance of existing affordable housing restrictions with the goal of preserving the affordable units, provide local support value-added responsibilities focusing on assisting specific projects and locally sponsored unit creation development and administration, and regional services which will provide training, workshops and referrals of resources to existing owners and renters by connecting them to programs and services available regionally.
