This training provides an introduction on how towns can update their municipal policies to improve housing opportunities. “Homes for All” is a training that will be useful for members of local planning commissions, zoning and development review boards, selectboards and other town officials as they seek to meet the housing needs of residents.
The four main areas that this training will cover are 1) Understanding current housing needs and documents, 2) Regulatory Solutions for Affordable Housing, 3) Non- Regulatory Solutions for Affordable Housing, and 4) Resources. We will also have Ted Wimpey, Director of the Fair Housing Program at the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity to discuss a statewide perspective on ways to address affordable housing in the Greater Upper Valley. Chairs please pass the training information along to other members on your boards. Please let me know if you plan on attending the meeting.
