The November minutes were approved. 3.CPC Housing Requests. Faythe Ellis provided an update that the CPC has voted to refer four applications to the Housing Partnership for review. The CPC has reviewed to ensure that the applications are complete and timely and meet CPA eligibility requirements. The applications will be referred to the BHP and the BHP will hear from the applicants and make recommendations. Applicants will be invited to a future BHP meeting to make a presentation. It was noted that Diane Pansire and Ralph Marotti have participated in the past and are familiar with the process. 4.Maplewood at Brewster Monitoring: Ralph Marotti noted that he had reached out and spoken with the Barnstable Housing Authority regarding monitoring for the affordable units at Maplewood. They review income statements on an annual basis. The waitlist, eligibility, and fulfillment are in the hands of Maplewood at Brewster. Donna Kalinick noted that the monitoring of these units differs from those that are on the Town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory as the 10% requirement comes from the Cape Cod Commission’s DRI. 5.Brewster Housing Coordinator Report: Donna Kalinick covered Jill Scalise’s Housing Coordinator report. She relayed that they continue to see a lot of outreach for information and assistance. 6.Updates Donna Kalinick provided updates on the following initiatives. a.Brewster Woods – Construction is underway and started the first week of December. Full completion is expected by May of 2022. b.Wingate – Elevation Financial has officially closed on the former Wingate property, which has been renamed Serenity at Brewster. Next step is to work to get the affordable units (20% of the units) on the SHI. Phase I could be available late May/early June. The next phase could take 12 -18 months. c.Paul Hush Way – Remaining homes will be occupied by the end of the year. The virtual ceremony will be held on December 30. 7.Standing Committee Updates: a.Affordable Housing Trust – Sarah discussed the Millstone Road project including communication with abutters, particularly as it relates to water issues, and other community members. A water study was performed. The Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 2 of 270 2 next step will be to put out a Request for Proposal. She also noted that another developer is in the initial phases of discussion for a 40B development. 8.Local Preference Interest: Donna Kalinick reported progress on the local preference discussion, which will be presented in the context of Fair Housing. Thursday, March 25 has been proposed. 9.Update on Committee Format and Schedule: A virtual format will be utilized for meetings until at least June 30, 2021. We will be transitioning in February to a new Zoom format. Ralph Marotti noted he would take a tutorial. 10.For Your Information: Ralph Marotti updated the group that the Housing Partnership charge is now on the website. 11.Matters Not Reasonably Anticipated by the Chair: Diane Pansire asked about revising the Housing Production Plan. Donna Kalinick noted that the Housing Production Plan will expire in 2023 and that it needs to be updated every five years; the Housing Partnership will have a role in that. Donna Kalinick noted that the Town has posted a housing video for the public at large.

Greene Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 3 of 270 3 Spring 2021 CPC Applications – Legal Opinions Housing Coordinator From: Shirin Everett <SEverett@k-plaw.com<mailto:SEverett@k-plaw.com>> Subject: Brewster: Legal opinions- CPC funding applications Date: January 10, 2018 at 12:17:04 PM EST To: "Paul Ruchinskas (pjruch@comcast.net<mailto:pjruch@comcast.net>)" <pjruch@comcast.net<mailto:pjruch@comcast.net>> Cc: Jonathan Silverstein <JSilverstein@k-plaw.com<mailto:JSilverstein@k-plaw.com>>, "'Michael Embury' (membury@brewster-ma.gov<mailto:membury@brewster-ma.gov>)" <membury@brewster- ma.gov<mailto:membury@brewster-ma.gov>> Hello Paul, 1. Housing Coordinator: The Assistant Town Administrator and Town Planner request CPA funds to retain a part-time Housing Coordinator to assist the Town with its affordable housing projects and programs. According to the job description attached to the application, the Housing Coordinator will, among other things, review the Town’s SHI, ensure that properties remain deed restricted, assist various Town boards with affordable housing projects such as the affordable housing buy-down program, assist with the Town’s Housing Production Plan, identify available housing opportunities, assist in preparing list of priorities, and engage in other activities designed to promote affordable housing. Opinion: It is my opinion that CPA funds may properly be used to retain a Housing Coordinator, as the primary duty of the Housing Coordinator, as described in the job function, is to directly support the Town in acquiring and creating affordable housing and/or assisting in affordable housing programs and/or low income households. I note that there are many municipalities that retain housing coordinators and/or specialists with the use of CPA funds. Note: See 12/15/20 email below for confirmation that this opinion may be used for this year’s application. Rental Assistance Program From: Shirin Everett Sent: Monday, December 14, 2020 8:55 PM To: 'Faythe Ellis' Cc: 'Peter Lombardi'; Jonathan Silverstein; 'Sharon Marotti'; 'Beth Devine' Subject: Brewster CPC Housing Applications for Legal Opinion - Rental Assistance Program Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 4 of 270 4 To those of you who received my prior email on this matter, please ignore that email because I sent it inadvertently before I had finished. Hello Faythe, You requested an opinion as to whether the Community Preservation Committee (the “CPC”) may grant to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (the “Trust”) monies under G.L. c.44B (the “CPA”) for the purpose of establishing a Brewster Affordable Housing Rental Assistance Program (the “Rental Program”) and an Emergency Rental Assistance Program (the “Emergency Program” and, with the Rental Program, the “Programs”), both of which will be managed by the Housing Assistance Corporation (“HAC”), a nonprofit organization. Under the Rental Program, HAC will provide rental assistance to low income tenants for a maximum term of 3 years. Under the Emergency Program, CPA funds will be provided to low and moderate income tenants who are at risk of eviction because of the severe economic harm and job loss caused by the Covid-19 pandemic for a period of no more than 1 year. Under both Programs, HAC will make pay no more than $500/month pursuant to an agreement with landlords, and with funds paid directly to such landlords. You have asked if the use of CPA funds for the purpose of undertaking the Programs is consistent with the CPA. For the reasons set forth below, it is my opinion that the CPC may reasonably conclude that CPA funds may properly be expended to provide HAC with funds to administer a rental assistance program for the support of income eligible renters. As you are aware, CPA funds may only be used for the specific purposes set forth in Section 5 of the CPA. Section 5 states that monies may be used to “acquire”, “create”, “preserve”, “rehabilitate” and/or “support” community housing. Section 2 defines “community housing” as housing for low income households (that is, households earning no more than 80% of the area median income) and/or moderate income households (that is, households earning no more than 100% of the area median income); the application materials state that the persons receiving CPA funds under the Programs will meet the CPA income qualifications. The CPA funds will not be used to acquire affordable housing, as the households assisted under the Programs already rent their homes, but are having difficulty paying their rent. Further, since I expect that the Town will not obtain an affordable housing restriction on such homes in exchange for the assistance, the funds will not be used to “create” affordable housing, in my opinion. CPA funds are not being used to rehabilitate such homes, but, rather, to allow eligible persons to continue to live in their homes during times of economic uncertainty. The CPA does not fully define the word “support”, but states that it “includes, but is not limited to, programs that provide grants, loans, rental assistance, security deposits, interest-rate write downs or other forms of assistance directly to individuals and families who are eligible for community Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 5 of 270 5 housing or to an entity that owns, operates or manages such housing, for the purpose of making housing affordable” (emphasis added). Although the CPA expressly permits use of CPA funds for rental assistance programs, such as the Programs, there are certain limitations on the use of CPA funds. One such restriction is listed in Section 12(a) of the CPA, which states that: “A real property interest that is acquired with monies from the Community Preservation Fund shall be bound by a permanent restriction, recorded as a separate instrument, that meets the requirements of sections 31 to 33, inclusive, of chapter 184 limiting the use of the interest to the purpose for which it was acquired”. As mentioned above, I assume that the homes receiving a rental subsidy under the Programs will not be subject to affordable housing restrictions. The Programs must also comply with the “anti-aid amendment” of the Massachusetts Constitution, which prohibits municipalities from granting or lending money for the purpose of aiding any undertaking that is not publicly owned and controlled by a public instrumentality unless there is a definite public purpose and/or benefit to the public at large. According to the Department of Revenue (“DOR”), which is charged with oversight over the CPA, the CPA is primarily an asset-based program, in that the CPA’s intent is to make housing affordable for long term. If a community grants assistance directly to individuals, and no restrictions are obtained on the homes in which such persons reside for the purpose of making such homes affordable to future renters, the community takes the risk that DOR may find that such grants only benefit the individual, rather than serving the public interest. As you are aware, there are a fair number of communities that use CPA funds for projects similar to the Programs, and they too, like Brewster, do not obtain affordable housing restrictions on homes. I note that, as a practical matter, it is difficult for communities to acquire long-term affordable housing restrictions on such homes, as landlords may legitimately balk at permanently restricting the amount of rent they can charge in the future in exchange for temporary assistance to the current tenant. Further, it is my opinion the CPA mandates permanent restrictions only when the Town acquires real property interests with CPA funds; the CPA does not expressly require a permanent restriction whenever CPA funds are granted to third parties. Moreover, although such programs do benefit low or moderate income households, they also help accomplish the larger public interest of preventing homelessness. The DOR, having considered the foregoing issues, permits rental assistance if such programs are managed and administered by a local housing authority or nonprofit organization, like HAC, where the authority or nonprofit enters into an agreement with the landlord to pay funds directly to the landlord and there is a written lease between the landlord and tenant. The payments to the landlords, together with the rent paid by the assisted household, approximate Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 6 of 270 6 the fair market rental value of the property. In DOR’s opinion, a rental assistance program, administered in this manner, is consistent with the CPA and the anti-aid amendment because the CPA funds are being expended in exchange for the non-profit’s management services. In my opinion, since the Programs constitute the support of community housing, and the grant is being administered by the HAC, the CPC may reasonably conclude that the use of funds for the Programs is consistent with the CPA and the anti-aid amendment. Note that DOR has added a caveat to their opinion on rental assistance programs. While CPA funds may be used to pay rent to landlords and to pay a nonprofit a reasonable fee for managing such programs, it is DOR’s opinion that CPA funds may not be used to provide housing counseling and foreclosure preventing services to income eligible households. The application materials state that HAC will receive a 5% administrative fee, which is reasonable, in my opinion. To the extent that the CPA will be used to provide such other services, I recommend that the Town/Trust inform HAC that CPA monies are subject to the foregoing limitation. Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter Shirin Everett, Esq. KP |LAW 101 Arch Street, 12th Floor Boston, MA 02110 O: (617) 654 1731 F: (617) 654 1735 severett@k-plaw.com www.k-plaw.com Red Top Road Habitat for Humanity Veterans Housing in Dennis From: Shirin Everett Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 3:21 PM To: 'Faythe Ellis' Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 7 of 270 7 Cc: 'Peter Lombardi'; Jonathan Silverstein; 'Sharon Marotti'; 'Beth Devine' Subject: Brewster CPC Housing Applications for Legal Opinion - Housing Coordinator & Construction of Affordable Housing Hello Faythe, Yes, you may rely on my prior opinion as to the use of CPA funds for the community housing coordinator or specialist. In this email, I respond to your questions as to whether the Community Preservation Committee (the “CPC”) may properly grant funds for the 2 projects that involve the construction of new affordable homes, one in Brewster (the “Brewster Project”) and the other in the Town of Dennis (the “Dennis Project”). The Brewster Project Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. (“Habitat”) has applied to the CPC for a grant of $100,000 under G.L. c. 44B (the “CPA”) for the purpose of constructing two 3-bedroom residential dwellings at 26 Red Top Road (the “Property”) and selling such homes to households earning no more than 65% of the area median income, with preference given to veterans for one of the homes (the “Project”). Habitat intends to develop the homes under GL c.40B, and the Property will be subject to a permanent affordable housing restriction, in the form of a Regulatory Agreement entered into by Habitat and DHCD. As you know, CPA funds may be expended only for those purposes expressly stated in the CPA. The CPA allows CPA funds to be used to “acquire” “a real property interest” in community housing, to create, preserve, and support such housing, and to rehabilitate affordable housing acquired or created by the use of such funds. “Community housing” refers to housings that is sold or rented only to low and moderate income households; since Habitat intends to convey the homes to those earning no more than 65% of the area median income (which is commonly referred to as “very low income” housing), the Project meets the income qualifications required by the CPA. A “real property interest” is defined in Section 2 of the CPA as “a present or future legal or equitable interest in or to real property, including easements and restrictions…but shall not include an interest which is limited to the following: an estate at will or at sufferance and any estate for years having a term of less than 30 years...” (emphasis added). I expect that the grant of CPA funds to Habitat will be conditioned on Habitat conveying a permanent affordable housing restriction on the Property to the Town, in that the Town will be made a party to and have the right to enforce the Regulatory Agreement. In my opinion, the CPC may reasonably Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 8 of 270 8 conclude that the acquisition of a restriction in exchange for CPA funds is a legitimate use of CPA funds. I recommend that the Town enter into a grant agreement with Habitat establishing the terms of the grant, including a requirement that Habitat make the Town a party to the Regulatory Agreement. The Dennis Project Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center (the “Applicant”), a nonprofit corporation, has requested a grant of $50,000 from the CPC, which the Applicant will use to construct a 5- bedroom group home at 1341 Route 134 in the Town of Dennis (the “Property”) for the purpose of providing housing and supportive services to homeless veterans (the “Project”), with the goal of assisting veterans to achieve independent and sustainable housing. The Applicant currently has a funding shortfall of approximately $82,000 to cover the cost of construction, and the grant of CPA funds will reduce the gap. The Applicant states that the Property will be protected for such housing in perpetuity due to 5 project-based vouchers that will attach to the Project for the life of the Project. In my opinion, if the Town obtains a long-term affordable housing restriction on the Property in exchange for the funds, the CPA funds will have been properly expended to acquire community housing, similar to the Town’s acquisition of a restriction for the Brewster Project. If the Town does not obtain a restriction, but the Property is nevertheless subject to a long-term restriction held by a public agency, the CPC may nonetheless grant CPA funds to the Applicant if, in the CPC’s opinion, the funds constitute the support community housing. As you know, the term “support” is defined in Section 2 of the CPA to include “programs that provide grants, loans…or other forms of assistance…to an entity that owns, operates or manages such [community] housing, for the purpose of making housing affordable.” Since the Applicant will own the Property and operate the Project, and the grant will enable the Applicant to offer bedrooms for rent at a price that it is affordable to very low (or no) income veterans, it is my opinion that CPA funds may properly be granted to the Applicant for the purpose of undertaking and managing the Project. I recommend that the Town enter into a grant agreement with the Applicant establishing the terms of the grant and obtain a restriction on the Property, if feasible.

From the very beginning of the pandemic, we closed our construction sites to volunteers. Recently we have allowed only experienced volunteers on sites on a very limited basis on Tuesday & Saturdays. Professional trades are onsite on non-volunteer days. We have experienced slight delays in construction, but currently all active projects are on track! Although early in the pandemic our fundraising was also impacted, due to either cancelled or rescheduled fundraising events and closure of our ReStores, our supporters are committed to our mission, and their excitement and donations continue, virtually. And our ReStores are now open, safely and following all COVID protocols. We will provide quarterly updates to the CPC on all aspects of the subject project, and we are always available to answer any questions the committee members may have, anytime.

On March 14th, 2019, the individual entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement with Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. with the intention of donating a portion of the 58,370-sf parcel. Permitting will be sought via Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 40B under which Habitat will propose the site be subdivided into three lots: Lot C (33,217 sf) will include the donor’s existing home; Lot A (12,055 sf) and Lot B (13,222 sf) will be owned by Habitat until construction is completed, and the homes are sold to eligible families. Project and Home Description Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. proposes to use our tried-and-true “sweat-equity” model to build the two high-quality affordable homes. With quality, desirable single-family homes priced affordably, Habitat Cape Cod creates homeownership opportunities for families at income levels not served by other affordability programs. This proposed housing mix is based on Habitat Cape Cod’s experience with previous lotteries, housing- size needs, and number of bedrooms allowed by town zoning or permitting. The homes will be complementary to the neighborhood and allow for the most adaptability and accessibility as the living area is on one floor. As we select families before construction, if a selected family has a disability that needs accommodation, we can easily amend construction to build and accommodate that need. The plans we have attached are illustrative. We may make slight elemental changes, but the key design features will be the same. Included with this application please find preliminary site plans (Attachment A-page 25) and architectural house plans (Attachment B-page 27). •Our 3-bedroom ranch homes have 1.5 bathrooms. •We include two parking spaces per home. •Habitat builds our homes with full basements unless site conditions prohibit this, and we include an 8’ x 10’ shed. •We provide effective drainage and stormwater management as required by site topography. •We incorporate low-impact landscaping and give our buyers the tools and education to take care of their homes and lawns. # HOMES BEDRMS TOTAL BDRMS TYPE 1st FLOOR 2nd FLOOR SUB- TOTAL BASE MENT TOTAL 1ST FL TOTAL 2ND FL TOTAL SUB- TOTAL BASEMENT TOTALS GROSS SF 2 3 6 Ranch 1,256 - 1,256 1,256 2,512 2,512 - 2,512 2,512 5,024 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 23 of 270 23 •All Habitat Cape Cod homes meet or exceed Massachusetts Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) Local Initiative Program (LIP) Design and Construction Standards including requirements for square footage, bathrooms, and appliances. Homes comply with all applicable building codes. •In terms of “green” building, Habitat homes typically meet or exceed LEED standards, although for cost saving reasons, we do not seek certification. •We use sustainable and renewable building materials whenever this is practical, and our homes consistently score advantageously in the Federal Home Loan Bank Boston (FHLBB) “Affordable Housing Program” sections on Efficient Building, and Sustainable Building. •Our homes have high R-value for insulation (with 2’ x 6’ construction which allows for such high insulation), have low Home Energy Rating System (HERS) ratings, and are inherently efficient because the homes are built well and are modest in size (so less materials to build, less fuel to heat). •We use Energy Star windows and appliances. •We use highly efficient air source heat pumps, which we have found to be an affordable heating system and an aid to indoor air quality. •We use low or no VOC products, and seek to use durable, renewable, and rapidly renewable materials wherever practical. Additionally, Habitat Cape Cod has an innovative program to fund solar panels, and when site conditions and funding allow, we include solar panel installations in our builds. The Brewster homes are positioned on the site to allow for optimal solar panel placement if funding is secured. Our attention to efficiency and sustainability paid off as homes at Paul Hush Way in Brewster and Dickinson Drive in Marstons Mills were rated Net Zero through a qualified HERS rating company, and more recently our home on DeGrass in Mashpee received a rating of -8, and our two homes in Wellfleet received a remarkable HERS rating of -15,— celebratory accomplishments for Habitat and our homeowners! Habitat Cape Cod proposes to install a landscape designed to fit the local environment. We will be using trees, shrubs and perennials that are common to the area and require limited watering and maintenance. Lawn areas will be seeded with a Cape Cod seed blend, designed to be drought tolerant. The goal of this design is to provide an appealing landscape that is functional and environmentally conscious. As always, Habitat Cape Cod will use our traditional “sweat equity” model to build the affordable homes. With this model our selected purchaser families’ partner with Habitat Cape Cod and devote 250 to 500 hours building their homes alongside community volunteers. This promotes homeowners who are well educated on building and maintenance and fosters pride in homeownership and a true sense of community. Habitat Cape Cod works closely with our homebuyers, through our rigorous application process, and throughout the construction period. We provide significant homebuyer education including preparation for closing, budget counseling, and workshops in caring for a home and landscaping. Sweat equity and pre-purchase workshops have proven to be key elements in promoting successful homeownership. Habitat Cape Cod provides the training and establishes a Homeowners Association (HOA) for appropriate neighborhoods. The two Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 24 of 270 24 homeowners at Red Top Rd will form a HOA and will receive training about their HOA, which will be fully established upon the sale of the last home and will serve to ensure care of any common areas and uphold other standards adopted in its covenants. Habitat Cape Cod also partners with our communities, seeking donations of materials, professional services, and labor. We strive to make our homes welcome in a neighborhood and to be good neighbors. Habitat Cape Cod works to create a collaborative spirit where a whole community can be actively involved in helping to address the affordable housing crisis. Site Control On March 14th, 2019, the individual entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement (Attachment C-page 33) with Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. with the intention of donating a portion of the 58,370-sf parcel. Site Description The area which comprises Habitat Lots A and B is partially treed, predominantly with oaks but also some pine. Lot B contains an existing shed and gazebo which will be removed to accommodate construction of the new home. Site preparation will include tree removal (as necessary), grading and fill. See the updated “Permitting Site Plan 26 Red Top Road, Brewster MA Prepared for Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod by J.M. O’Reilly & Associates, Inc. April 10, 2020” (Attachment A) 26 Red Top Road has topographical variations as indicated on the sketch plan. The donor’s home is currently accessed via stairs from the existing driveway. As part of redevelopment of the site, Habitat plans to not only reorient the driveway to allow for entry to the residences, but will provide legal ingress/egress and turnaround space for town EMS and Fire Department. The site has access to electricity and other public utilities. Currently a drilled well provides the existing home’s drinking water. The site is proximate to town water on Stony Brook Road. After meeting with the town’s water commission on July 26, 2019, Habitat understands that a town goal is to bring water lines down Red Top Road (following work to be accomplished at Great Fields Road). At that meeting, the Water Commission voted to endorse Habitat’s Red Top project but could not provide specific dates for water installation. Ideally, the timing of this water installation, and Habitat’s, will be in sync and work will be completed advantageous for the planned 2022 (or 2023) start of this 2-home project. Assuming access to Town water, a 3-bedroom Cape-style ranch home with farmer’s porch will be built on each of the two Habitat owned lots. Each home will be serviced by its own Title V septic system. As construction progresses, the existing well will be abandoned for potable water use and the existing home will be tied into Town water to accommodate the placement of the Habitat homes’ septic systems. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 25 of 270 25 The Town of Brewster and Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod have a good history of working together. Habitat’s best practices remain the same and will continue through the building of these two homes. House Pricing Model Habitat Cape Cod will work with our Brewster buyers and assist them in securing the very advantageous USDA Rural Development “502” mortgage (with subsidies that can result in an interest rate as low as 1%). If a qualified and selected buyer cannot access a USDA mortgage, Habitat Cape Cod would directly offer them a zero percent mortgage. This means that, along with very affordable prices, our buyers can meet the affordable mortgage payment obligations. Attached is a pricing model based on DHCD & HUD affordable housing guidelines and variables. It was approved by the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors in June 2020. Current pricing approved by the Board is $168,250 for a three-bedroom (this reflects the 2020 home p rice but may be adjusted based on current incomes and calculations at time of applicant outreach). The monthly PITI payment (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) for a 3-bedroom home would be approximately $805. (Attachment D – page 47 - Home Pricing Model). Pricing is set so that a household earning 40% of area median income, as adjusted for family size, can afford a h ome. The figure of 40% has been adopted by Habitat Cape Cod based on past practice and experience as that number creates an appropriate "window of affordability" and allows those families ready to take on home ownership to q ualify. Variables used in the calculation include a 1% USDA interest rate with a 0% down payment and a 33-year term. For a tax rate, as Habitat sets a consistent price for all our homes throughout the Cape, we have us ed $8.00 per thousand. There is no PMI, so this is not included. We do include a HOA fee that is typical for a small-to-medium size Habitat development. We also amend the standard Housing Affordability "rule of thumb" that 30% of income goes to housing, reducing it to 25% which further increases affordability. Presuming project approval, all homes will be affordable in perpetuity, protected by a Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Local Initiative Program (LIP) Regulatory Agreement and Deed Rider. All homes will count on Brewster’s DHCD Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI). The homes will be affordable to very-low income households; households earning at or less than 65% of Area Median Income (AMI). Local/Veteran’s Preference If approved by DCHD, Habitat plans to offer a “veteran preference” pool for the family selection for one of the two homes at Red Top Road. Specifically, we will be asking that one affordable home be veteran preference, and for the second affordable home to be “open” without regard to veteran Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 26 of 270 26 preference. The definition of veteran will be as stated in Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 4, Section 7. For the “open” pool home, eligible qualified applicants who live or work in Barnstable County shall receive a preference over those who do not. There will be no Barnstable County area preference for the “veteran” pool, as veterans are defined by Massachusetts General Law, noted above. It would be our plan to request from DHCD that if there are no eligible veteran family applicants for the “veteran preference home”, that the home revert to a local resident preference unit. The definition of local resident will be in conformance with DHCD’s Affirmative Fair Marketing Plan and will include: households currently living in Town, households with a member employed by a local business or the municipality or school district, or with a household member attending public school in the Town. In conformance with DCHD standards, no m ore than 70% of the units for this project may receive a local preference. Per previous agreement with DHCD, for all homes, eligible qualified applicants who live or work in the 15-Town service area (Barnstable County) of Habitat Cape Cod shall receive a preference over those who do not. (Attachment E – page 49 - Sample Family Application Information) For the subject project, one out of the two homes will receive local preference. Project Need As of September 14, 2017, per Mass.gov, Brewster had 5.3% of its year-round housing stock listed as affordable. The State goal per town is 10%. The Brewster 2019 median home price was $415,000 per the Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors. The September 2020 year-to-date median price is currently $525,000. Per the U.S. Department of Housing and Development (HUD), people who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing (mortgage, interest, taxes, insurance) are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care. When there are affordable homeownership opportunities on the Cape, most often they are targeted to households earning 80% of HUD Area Median Income (AMI) or $77,300. Even at 100% of the median household income of $73,765 for Brewster per the Cape Cod Commission’s CapeStats, and applying the 30% benchmark, a household would need to earn approximately $96,761 per year to qualify for a mortgage at today’s interest rates without a down-payment. That results in an income gap of $22,996. Even a family earning 100% of the HUD 2020 AMI for Barnstable County of $96,600 would not qualify. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 27 of 270 27 Because of the very difficult year-round housing & rental market for the average family, due to the tourist economy, seasonal demands and low wages, Habitat Cape Cod targets affordability to households earning at or less than 65% of AMI. At 60% of AMI, a family of four earns $57,960 which is only 60% of needed household income--the affordability gap is huge. Our most recent lotteries clearly illustrate the need for housing that is affordable is significant. We recently received •38 applications for three houses in Dennis, •59 applications for four homes in Marstons Mills, •74 applications for six homes in Brewster Phase II, •51 application for 2 homes in Wellfleet, and •50 applications for one home in Mashpee. There is an undeniable need. From a pragmatic standpoint, there is no risk of Habitat Cape Cod homes not being and remaining unsold. Habitat Cape Cod selects our buyers before starting to build, we build in partnership with our buyer households, and they work with us on their own home, and invest their sweat equity.

As a non-profit builder/developer we do not charge ourselves, or our home buyers the typical for- profit builder, and developer fees which total $124,773. When deducting those fees from the proforma, our per unit costs are revised from $393,442 or $157 per gross square footage to $331,056 or $132. How will CPA funds be spent? a.CPA funds will primarily be spent on infrastructure, site work, utilities, and the start of home construction bringing the homes to wall-raisings tentatively scheduled for Fall 2022. b.Total development costs have been calculated based on accepted bids and historical data. a.Most significant use of funds are engineering & sitework costs estimated for the road/ driveway. Based on all our past projects, we anticipate a 12-month volunteer construction schedule supervised by a professional construction manager paid at a prevailing wage. (Attachment H – page 56 – Engineering Quote) What are the sources of non-CPA funding for the project? BUDGET SUMMARY SOURCES Per Project Sale of Homes $ 336,500 CPA Grant $ 1 00,000 FHLBB Grant $ 60,000 Private Fundraising $ 50,000 Individuals, Faith, and Civic Orgs, Corporate, and Private Fdtns Habitat Developer Equity $ 240,384 ReStores, Annual Appeals, Events Total Sources $ 786,884 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 29 of 270 29 The best metric by which to measure our ability is our consistent success in meeting fundraising goals set for each project. Since 2004 there have been no instances of Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod delaying construction due to lack of funding. In terms of our private fundraising, we have a long history of meeting our private fundraising needs for each project, with energetic plans seeking support from diverse community sources. Private fundraising includes donations from individuals, private foundations, businesses, and faith-based organizations and churches. We separate private fundraising from larger grants such as Community Preservation, local Affordable Housing Trusts, and FHLBB, and these mostly governmental sources are not included in computations of private fundraising. Our private fundraising goal for the subject project is $25,000 per home. As of the submission of this grant we have secured a pledge from a donor for $50k, and we are continuing our fundraising plan to write grants to private foundations and secure home sponsorships. Habitat Cape Cod raises funds year-round. Those funds are allocated to construction projects as Habitat Equity. Examples of non-project specific fundraising initiatives include our: •ReStores – Yarmouth and Falmouth locations. •Semi-annual appeals. •Annual Kayak Raffle. •Rally the Alleys Bowling Tournament. •Hook for Homes Fishing Derby. •Cars for Homes-the Cape Cod affiliate has earned more than any other "medium size" Habitat in the country. Project Goals/CPA Criteria Our goal is to meet critical housing needs of the local population whose income is typical of jobs in some of the larger local economic sectors such as service, retail, hospitality, tourism, health care and construction. This project will: •Provide permanent housing for two families, providing a hand up from the cycle of housing crises •Construct modest, attractive, permanently affordable homes in the town of Brewster •Contribute to the town’s goal of achieving 10% affordable housing •Strengthen our organization by expanding our volunteer and donor base in the lower-Cape area •Continue to build homes to or exceeding LEED standards with a focus on new and improving green building techniques. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 30 of 270 30 The homes will be sold to families selected based on having a severe need for affordable housing, willingness to actively partner in the construction of their home, and the ability to pay the monthly mortgage plus escrow for taxes and insurance. The homes will be deeded with an affordable housing deed restriction to keep the home affordable in perpetuity, thereby permanently adding to Brewster’s affordable housing inventory. CPA Goals/Criteria: Per the Town of Brewster CPC, the subject development meets most general criteria of the Community Preservation as possible. •Contribute to the preservation of Brewster’s unique character. Habitat will create housing for low income households, which helps to preserve the vibrancy and diversity of the community. •Boost the vitality of the Town. Habitat will create housing for low income households which helps keep families living in Brewster and adds to the town’s local workforce. •Enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents. Habitat will create the opportunity for low income households to have the stability and security of affordable homeownership. •Serve more than one of the four CPA Purposes. This proposal is for Community Housing. •Save resources that would otherwise be threatened. n/a •Serve a currently under-served town population. Habitat will create deed restricted affordable housing. Brewster currently has 5.3% of its housing stock listed on the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) as of September 14, 2017. The State goal is 10%. Low income families are an under-served population. Home ownership opportunities for the very-low income are virtually non-existent. •Demonstrate practicality and feasibility and ability to implement within budget. Habitat is a well-respected and experienced developer with a long track record of success. •Demonstrate a positive cost/benefit relationship. Habitat relies heavily on volunteer labor, using both our homebuyers “sweat equity” contributions and our community volunteers. We also rely on donations of materials and Habitat friendly pricing. This helps us keep our construction costs low. •Leverage additional public and/or private funds. Habitat has demonstrated significant success in private fundraising. Community support for this project has exceeded expectations. Habitat has received support from the Federal Home Loan Bank Boston (FHLBB) Affordable Housing Program (AHP) for every funds request submitted. •Preserve, enhance, or better utilize existing Town resources. n/a Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 31 of 270 31 •Receive Endorsement by other Town committees and the Brewster public at large. SeeCommunity Support. Community Support 1)What is the nature and level of support for the project? a.The high level of support is demonstrated by the donation of land by a long-term Brewster resident, and further demonstrated by endorsements from the Cape & Island Veterans Outreach, and Cape Cod Five, as well as support from the Brewster Housing Partnership. In addition, we have received record-breaking, generous, and enthusiastic financial, time, and expert support from all levels of public support-most recently with the 14 homes on Paul Hush Way. 2)Include evidence of support, such as letters and petitions. (Attachment I- page 62) a.Brewster Housing Partnership b.Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach c.Cape Cod Five Letter of Interest Community Benefit Habitat Cape Cod will create housing for low income households which helps keep families living in Brewster and adds to the town’s local workforce. Success Factors Success is marked by families moving into deed restricted affordable homes, and the permanent deed restriction being recorded at the Barnstable Registry of Deeds. But just as important, success is also the process along the way. This process includes our buyer families partnering with Habitat Cape Cod and learning building and homeowner skills, it includes the strength that is created when a town is seen coming together and supporting affordable housing, and it includes the sense of community that is built when our volunteers work side by side with our families. Another metric by which to measure our consistent success is in meeting fundraising goals set for each project. Since 2004 there have been no instances of Habitat Cape Cod delaying construction due to lack of funding. Credentials Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc.

Please see Attachment J – page 66 - Developer Experience, Team, and Current & Recent Projects Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 32 of 270 32 Project Manager Contact Information Project Manager & Title: Bob Ryley, Director of Construction Daytime Phone: (508) 737-7910 (cell) Evening Phone: (508) 737-7910 (cell) Email: bobryley@habitatcapecod.org Maintenance Who will be responsible for Project Maintenance? As the Habitat Cape Cod program is homeownership, ongoing maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowners. There will be a homeowner’s association for the two Red Top Rd homes that is responsible for maintenance of all common areas, including the roadway and drainage facilities, and will also be responsible for the open space area. Habitat has put significant effort into creating a solid structure for our homeowner associations. Habitat Cape Cod works with our buyers to help them understand the roles and responsibilities of a homeowner association and stays involved through the first year to set the association off on a strong and positive path. Habitat Cape Cod also works with a professional property management firm to assist the homeowner association in various administrative tasks such as required legal filings and fee collections, and this firm serves as a professional resource. Sample homeowner documents are available upon request. Additionally, Habitat homeowners have had significant experience in building through their sweat equity commitment, as well as education on home maintenance and lawn care. How will Project Maintenance be funded?

Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 76 of 270 76 Our Homes: Since 1988, Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. has built 153 homes throughout the region. In addition, as of the date of this application, we have 9 homes in some phase of construction; 10 homes with building permits pending; and potential for an additional 18 homes, contingent on the results of pre-development study or project permitting. Our Construction Team: Habitat relies on the skills and passion of over 600 volunteers. On any given job site, anywhere from 130-260 different volunteers will give of their time and resources to help build the homes and ensure our success. We have volunteers with specialized skills or licenses, others with decades of experience working with their hands, and we also have volunteers who have never worked with tools before. All are welcome! We have active volunteers in their nineties and volunteers as young as six (while construction volunteers must be at least 16 years old, we have woodworking and other projects appropriate for youth groups). Some volunteers work a single 7- hour shift, others put in 700 hours over the course of a multi-home project. Volunteers come from the Cape and beyond, from all walks of life, and bring a variety of perspectives. They all share a simple passion: the desire to make a difference for working families on Cape Cod and doing so while working side by side with their neighbors. Habitat also relies on Bob Ryley as our Director of Construction. Bob has forty plus years’ experience as a general contractor and sub-contractor in wood frame, has worked throughout the Cape and Islands, and has made training and instruction a focus. Bob was a member of the Habitat Board from 2006 to 2010, and volunteered as a Crew Leader, an Instructor, and on a Youth United home. Bob is a member of the Green Building Council, Cape Cod’s Climate Change Collaborative and has been a driving force behind Habitat’s efforts to reach Net Zero. Barry Clickstein and Bob Leary both serve Habitat as stipend-volunteer construction Site Supervisors. Mr. Leary, a retired shop teacher at Falmouth high School, has been a Habitat volunteer for over twenty years, worked as a builder in an early career and is a licensed contractor. Mr. Clickstein is a talented carpenter and respected leader and got the Habitat “bug” after volunteering on his first Habitat construction site in 2007. Each of these fine gentlemen lead crews of 8-30 volunteers, supervising the work, assigning tasks to capable and loyal volunteers, and teaching tasks to novices.

Applications will be considered incomplete if all requested information is not provided. Include supporting materials (maps, diagrams, photos, etc.). Please number pages of application. 1. Project Description: Describe the proposed project. Is this part of a larger project or an ongoing project? The Veterans Home in Dennis will provide supportive housing to homeless veterans on Cape Cod. The final goal of the project is to stabilize the circumstances of their lives so that they are empowered to eventually move forward into their own independent and sustainable living situations. In March 2020 construction began on a 3,500 sf, five-bedroom, five-bath home in Dennis. Located at 1341 Route 134, this home will be the location of the Supportive Housing Program which CIVOC has been implementing since 1996. Our goal is to provide a place to live for five local veterans by early 2021. 2. For Historic Preservation projects: N/A 3. CPA Goals/Criteria: Describe how this project accomplishes the goals and objectives of the CPA (refer to the attached general and issue-specific criteria and identify which of these apply to the project). X Increase the supply of year-round affordable rental housing for all types of households, such as young singles and couples, families, and seniors. X Build support for addressing housing needs through partnerships with conservation groups and nonprofit and for-profit developers. X Create housing that is affordable and appropriate for very low-income seniors and people with disabilities. X Increase local capacity to plan, advocate for, and create affordable housing, preserve the affordability and condition of existing affordable units, and monitor affordable housing restrictions. X Ensure long term affordability. This Project is suitable to the current and future needs of the Town of Brewster because it will provide access to diverse programs and services to an existing population, that is growing in size and need, as certain veteran demographics become more vulnerable to the issues the contribute to homelessness. In 2018 Brewster had an estimated 281 veteran residents according to Census data. Census data gives us the following insights: • Estimated Veteran Population in the Town of Brewster: 281 veterans Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 112 of 270 112 www.capeveterans.com/homes4vets 4 | Page 4 Brewster Community Preservation Fund Application: Veterans Home in Dennis • Percentage of the veteran population that is under the age of 65: Roughly 37% (104) • Percentage of the veteran population that is over the age of 65: Roughly 63% (177) • Total Veteran Population with disabilities: 12 (36.7%) These statistics show a clearly defined need that runs throughout each town on Cape Cod. The Brewster Comprehensive Plan directs the town to push forward towards meeting the State's affordable housing target. The Brewster Housing Production Plan similarly directs the town towards an ambitious program to create affordable housing. This project will provide another opportunity for the Town of Brewster to provide for an especially deserving, at risk, portion of our community. Additionally, this Project assists the Cape in reaching the 10% goal for affordable housing as set forth in MGL. c. 40B. by increasing the number of units in affordable housing inventory by five units. Similar to the CPC funded Cape Cod Village project, each bedroom suite will count as an individual unit and will promote diversity in housing stock through units exclusively available to an underserved population. The Veterans Home in Dennis will provide an alternative to living in a shelter, and in this case, serve a very specific target population. This growing number of area veterans would be eligible and possibly in need of the services and programs provided by the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center at the Veterans Home in Dennis. This Project accomplishes the goals and objectives of the CPA by having a laser focus on the criteria for Community Housing and helps to provide a home for veterans who are currently living on disability or other housing vouchers. All residents will qualify as low-income residents and are, generally, below the area poverty limits. The Veterans Home in Dennis promotes the re-use and redevelopment of existing properties as the home will be located on a town owned lot, which was gifted to the town in 1990 for general municipal purposes, and that was provided to the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center through a 99-year lease at a cost of $1. This Project also maintains the character of the existing neighborhoods by complying with the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee regulations and is harmonious in size and scale with the surrounding neighborhood. This Project helps build support for addressing housing needs through partnerships with conservation groups and nonprofit and for-profit developers by collaborating with Cape Associates, Inc., Voikos Construction Management, and the Community Economic Development Assistance. This Project will set the benchmark for combatting the veteran’s homelessness crisis. The successful completion of the Veterans Home in Dennis will provide the foundation and community call-to-action to expedite the overall Veterans Home Capital Campaign in order to develop an appropriate inventory of affordable housing units and reach a functional-zero. This is how we will end chronic veteran homelessness on Cape Cod. Additionally, The Veterans Home in Dennis ensures affordability in perpetuity due to 5 project-based vouchers being secured and attached to this Project for the life of the property. Need based vouchers supplement the veteran residents' ability to pay a rental fee and this financial support offsets Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 113 of 270 113 86.2% of Every Dollar Raised goes toward Programs and Services for Veterans 5 | Page 5 Brewster Community Preservation Fund Application: Veterans Home in Dennis operational and case management costs, therefore being a critical key to the long-term sustainability of the project. Lastly, this Project promotes a socioeconomic environment that encourages a diversity of income, ethnicity, religion and age due to residency. 4. Community Benefits: What are the community benefits of the project? The need on the Cape is significant. Per the 2018 Census Veterans comprise 10%, or over 18,000, of the total population on the Cape of more than 180,000 people. Nearly 71% of the Cape veterans are above age 65. 4.4% of this population, nearly 800 individuals, live below the poverty line. The anticipated impact of this Project is the reduction in recidivism among the homeless veteran population on Cape Cod, as well as an expansion of community outreach, case management and holistic therapies programs offered by CIVOC. Scalability of approach and a functional zero are two key concepts behind the community impact of this project. Boston’s Homes for the Brave housed nearly 800 veterans, cut the overall number of homeless veterans by 44 percent, and effectively ended chronic veteran homelessness in the City of Boston in just over 2 years. Similarly, the Cape and Islands has an identified need to support homeless veterans and the Veterans Home in Dennis provides a clear path to a functional solution. The five veterans housed at the Veterans Home in Dennis will represent an increase in service capacity coverage, and the facility will include a defined space for case management and community outreach services. This will increase efficacy in case management services and expand the reach of CIVOC programs focused on the needs of homeless veterans across the Cape. Programs and services provided through this Project include: transitional/supportive housing, integrated housing support services, case management, community outreach and awareness activities, holistic therapies such as hypnotherapy, reiki and massage, cognitive therapy, traditional counseling, as well as health, financial, and life-skills educational workshops. The Veterans Home in Dennis is in an ideal location and the facility will help CIVOC deliver specialized supportive services to veterans in need. Case management and community outreach provides integrated support that leads to independent living. Holistic therapies seek to alleviate issues of anxiety and sleeplessness so veterans can then enter into cognitive therapy with greater chance for success. Additionally, a majority of clients who participate in supportive services provided often have greater housing stability. Clients using supportive services are more likely to participate in job training programs, attend school, discontinue substance use, have fewer instances of domestic violence, and spend fewer days hospitalized than those not participating. This access to resources, with active and encouraged participation, also increases the number of persons who increase their income and/or access benefits. Finally, this housing model has been found to be cost efficient. This increased efficacy in case management services to prevent homelessness and achieve housing stability allows for a financially viable solution to be implemented in the communities in which the clients live, in the areas where those clients are more densely located.

Circumstances outside the control of the Town of Dennis and the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center delayed the implementation of the Project and the fundraising campaign, but currently the Project Sponsor and our collaborators are aggressively moving forward with construction and soliciting for funding. While undeterred by the COVID-19 pandemic, the current healthcare crisis has added an additional sense of urgency to this request for funding. This Project had previously been impeded by a 4-year process in land court and was concluded this fiscal year when the MA Supreme Court refused to hear the plaintiff’s appeal of the land court ruling. While these circumstances ultimately ended in favor of the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center the delay in implementation has impacted the initial assumptions of the project. Originally slated to be the recipient of the land and constructed building, the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center was tasked in the last fiscal year to become the developer of the property and assume all responsibilities associated with the role in the project. This change has taken the focus of the limited staff from the process of fundraising for the project to the actual development and implementation of all aspects of construction. The 4-year delay has also impeded fundraising due to the public perception, as well as inability to launch a Capital Campaign when the future of the project was unsure. With new publicity and awareness growing due to the active construction and aggressive fundraising efforts the Veterans Home Capital Campaign (www.capeveterans.com/homes4troops) has been launched and has surpassed the initial projections for the Quiet Phase of the Campaign. We are now seeking additional public support through multiple fundraising efforts, as well as increased awareness and participation through collaborations with PBS’ This Old House, Home Builders and Remodelers Association, and Mid-Cape Home Centers. It is projected that these efforts will offset any delayed acquisition of funds before construction is completed and veterans are housed. Lastly, CIVOC has leveraged funds that are immediately available, whether cash or in-kind, to move forward with construction according to an aggressive but fiscally responsible timeline. We are currently seeking additional funds to offset $200,000 in bridge financing from Cape Cod Five Cents through fundraising activities such as: additional CPC applications to ensure project completion, $100,000 pledge drive led by former Town of Dennis Selectman Wayne Bergeron and Community Activist Paul Covell, multiple pending foundation and corporate grant applications, and a grassroots outreach strategy with a focus on Civic, Fraternal, Military, and Community Group support. The ultimate goal of this Project is to carry zero debt liability and for the sustaining revenue generated by occupancy to fund the diverse programs and services offered at the home and through the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center.

Timeline: What is the schedule for project implementation, including a timeline for all milestones? Please identify any special timing considerations for the project’s implementation. If this is part of a larger project, is it phased? What is the timeline for the entire project? In March 2020 construction began on a 3,500 sf, five-bedroom, five-bath home in Dennis with site work and foundation progress completed. Framing and weatherproofing the structure began the week of 5/18/20 and roofing was completed the week of 6/22/2020. Exterior work on the building is near complete, with siding recently being installed. Interior work has moved from framing to electric and plumbing, to now beginning to drywall. Handicap accessible showers have been installed in all five bathrooms, and additional community space was realized after an adjustment in the second-floor layout allowed for storage space to be converted into usable programmatic space. Volunteers have begun to secure interior and household items to furnish the home through online registries. The estimated timeframe for home construction to be complete is December 2020/January 2021 and for the property to be completely developed by Summer 2021. Recently State Rep. Whelan and State Rep. Crocker toured the Veterans Home in Dennis, publicly endorsing the project, and spoke toward it being a model for success during the October Home Builders and Remodelers Legislative Dinner. This sentiment was echoed by State Sen. Cyr and Dennis Selectmen Chris Flannagan during the event showing that community support for the project is high and concerted. CIVOC has received CPC commitments from Dennis and Wellfleet. We have pending applications with Yarmouth and Harwich CPC, as well as an application to the Provincetown AHT. The total budget for this project is $1,018,975 and the current gap in fully funding the project is $82,119, not taking into account the $200,000 line of credit that has been accessed throughout the Project. To date CIVOC has received $350,645 in donations and $281,211 in in-kind donations from the construction industry. Details can be found in the attached Sources and Funds Document. 7. Credentials: What are the qualifications and relevant experience of those undertaking the project? The Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center, in collaboration with the following entities, will implement this project with Matt Young of Cape Associates, Inc. serving as the project manager. Development Experience William Burke - Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center Board - President: LTC Burke was commissioned a 2nd LT, Corps of Engineers, in June 1969 after graduating from Boston College. During a 21-year career he had numerous assignments culminating as the Engineer for the Berlin Command, Berlin, West Germany. He completed an MBA from Babson College and a Master in Civil Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute during his career. Following retirement from the Army in 1990, he was selected as the Public Works Director for the Town of Marshfield MA, where he managed the organization from 1990 to 1995. In 1995 he was selected by the quasi-public agency, Mass Development, to be part of the 200-million-dollar project to redevelop the former Fort Devens, where he was promoted to Executive VP for the redevelopment project. As Executive VP for Devens Operations he was responsible for all municipal functions, engineering design and planning for all infrastructure construction and local public relations for the redevelopment. Matt Young - Cape Associates, Inc. Project Manager: Matthew Young joined Cape Associates in 2019 and manages commercial and residential projects ranging from $10,000 to more than $3,000,000 in Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 116 of 270 116 www.capeveterans.com/homes4vets 8 | Page 8 Brewster Community Preservation Fund Application: Veterans Home in Dennis scope through the Yarmouth Port office. Matthew's long history of project experience makes him an integral member of the management team and his experience as a veteran in the USAF provides additional enthusiasm for this project. His work includes large international hotels as well as residential and commercial renovation work in the Boston metro area. Voikos Construction Management - Clerk of the Works/ Owners Rep: With an extensive background history that encompasses design development efforts, estimating, oversight of field operations, project management, safety and business development, Andy Voikos brings a seasoned and individualistic approach to this project. Having worked as General Manager and Senior Vice President for the construction division of one of the largest builders/developers in the Northeast, Andy has first-hand knowledge of the efforts required to push a project through design development, get it into the ground, and then completed. Cape Associates, Inc. - Cape Associates, Inc. was established by Lester F. Langhans, Jr. in 1971. From three employees to more than 120 fulltime, year-round employees, the company has grown to be one of the largest builders on Cape Cod. In 1978, an office, warehouse and shop encompassing more than 5,000 square feet was constructed at their present site in North Eastham. In 2013/2014 they built the Michael H. Cole Building to accommodate their continued growth over the past 47 years. Cape Associates currently works throughout Cape Cod, from Plymouth to Provincetown and Nantucket, and have been the recipient of countless local awards within the construction industry. Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation - CEDAC is a public-private community development finance institution that provides financial resources and technical expertise for community-based and other non-profit organizations engaged in effective community development in Massachusetts. They have been working with us in accessing development consulting. CIVOC's Programmatic Experience with Housing Services - The services delivered to the residents of Veterans Home in Dennis by the CIVOC staff will mirror the Transitional Housing Program that we have been delivering since 1993. A resident's stay begins with the development of a service plan intended to address the resident's individual needs. That service plan will be the basis for their weekly case management meeting which will monitor the resident's progress in the areas of education, employment and independent housing. The Case Manager will also facilitate the resident's access to a Veteran Service Officer who will assist them in securing Chapter 115 and disability benefits. The Case Manager will also facilitate the introduction to a HUD/VASH social worker who will enter the resident into the VASH voucher system (a VA subsidy) for their future independent rentals and into the SSVF program which will pay for their future security deposit as well as moving expenses when they are ready to move on. While accessing all of these services residents will also be clients of our counseling/mental health support services, holistic therapies program, and food pantry. 8. Budget/Need for Public Funds: What is the total budget (sources of funds and uses/expenses) for the project and schedule for expenditure of CPA funds? All sources of funds and expenses must be clearly identified. Provide the basis for cost estimates whenever possible. (Note: CPA funds may not be used for maintenance.)

Please see attached Construction Financing Document Please list any donated labor and/or materials and the value for each. Labor/Materials Value 1. Cape Associates: Labor/Materials/Project Management $265,524 2. Misc Labor and Materials: $48,615 3. L & M Drywall: Drywall Materials $18,798 4. KAM Appliances: Appliances $10,985 5. McPhee Associates: Architectural Design $10,180 6. Traditional & Synthetic Millwork: Interior Trim Materials $8,985.64 7. Cape Cod Concrete Cement Floor: $3,000 9. Maintenance: If ongoing maintenance is required for your project, who will be responsible for maintenance and how will it be funded? The Project ensures affordability in perpetuity due to 5 project-based vouchers being secured and attached to this Project for the life of the property. Need based vouchers supplement the veteran residents' ability to pay a rental fee and this financial support offsets operational and case management costs, therefore being a critical key to the long-term sustainability of the project. These funds will be used for any maintenance that the property will require. The diverse programs and services provided for through this construction project will follow the Transitional Housing model, which has been in place since the inception of the program 34 years ago. 10. Site Control and Appraisal: If the project involves acquisition of real property, provide evidence of site control (deed, purchase and sale, option, etc.). In addition, provide an appraisal of the property’s value by a state licensed appraiser using customary appraising techniques. The CPA does not allow funding for acquisitions if the acquisition price is greater than appraised value. Property is currently under construction.

CPC will be placing the proposal as a warrant article for Wellfleet’s 2021 Annual Town Meeting. We have no details yet about when or how that will be taking place, but, based on the very successful outdoor Town Meeting this September, it could very well be held at the ball field again if necessary. The Wellfleet Forum also holds a Pre-Town Meeting, either virtually or live, to acquaint the townspeople with the warrant articles. It’s very beneficial to attend that meeting to make a short presentation and answer any questions about your project. It’s not too soon to get the word out there to Wellfleet veterans and friends that the Veterans Home request will be coming before them at the Annual Town Meeting. It was good to hear from you at our November Zoom meeting. Let’s stay in touch so that you know when the Wellfleet Pre-Town Meeting and Annual Town Meeting are scheduled.

Founded in 1983 by a group of Vietnam Veterans who did not find the services and programs they needed to transition back to society, CIVOC has become an indispensable veteran service provider on the Cape to today’s veterans. Building on the legacy that our founders started nearly four decades ago; we offer multiple comprehensive supportive services that empower veterans to achieve independence with dignity and respect. Vision To end veteran homelessness on the Cape and Islands. Mission Our mission is to provide comprehensive life sustaining services for veterans and their families. We deliver a comprehensive menu of essential, life altering and life sustaining services which will empower veterans to achieve a lasting reintegration into the families and communities for which they have sacrificed.

11:31 AM To: Faythe Ellis Cc: Sharon Marotti Subject: Re: Brewster CPC Veterans Home Dennis additional info requested Hi Faythe! Hope the holiday season is treating you well! Your request got the gears turning and I wanted to run something by you to hear your thoughts. Not to get into the weeds of it but this CPC round is my first rodeo when it comes to engaging municipal funding. I think I'm capable but still have much to learn, especially with regard to what each CPC will fund. I've had my blinders on with a focus on construction, but with regard to CPC funds that doesn't necessarily have to be the focus. The numbers below reflect a 1/3 request for funding for each line item, outside of the one construction related request, staggered over 3 years so that funds will be exhausted within the 3 year window required by CPC guidelines. Attached you'll find the 20 year pro forma, as well as an explanation of the assumptions. Brewster CPC Request FY Breakdown FY22 FY23 FY24 Total Request Case Manager $5,200.00 $5,304.00 $5,410.08 $15,914.08 Counselor $667.00 $680.00 $693.60 $2,040.60 Capital Reserve $834.00 $834.00 $834.00 $2,502.00 Hardscaping and Irrigation $29,543.32 $0.00 $0.00 $29,543.32 Totals $36,244.32 $6,818.00 $6,937.68 $50,000.00 If this funding model is applicable and makes more sense than a straight $50K construction support request I can write up a letter or whatever would be needed to provide the details and context behind these numbers. Let me know your thoughts when you have a chance. Side note: I felt a little dense when it dawned on me, but would you or any of the committee like to tour the House? You had mentioned before that you drive by it so I don't know why I didn't extend the invitation sooner!

Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 185 of 270 185 11 Brewster Affordable Housing Trust Rental Assistance Program (B-RAP) Project Synopsis: Over the past years, and exacerbated with the Covid-19 pandemic, year-round rental housing has become more difficult for Brewster households to afford. The Brewster Affordable Housing Trust Rental Assistance Program (B-RAP) assists low and moderate income Brewster households to both attain and retain rental housing. Using previous CPA funding, approved at the 2018 Fall Special Town Meeting, the Housing Trust developed the B-RAP program in response to identified needs in the community and designed the emergency assistance component in coordination with eight Lower Cape Towns and local social service agencies. The program, managed by Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC), provides a monthly rental subsidy as well as case management support to assist residents in affording rentals. The emergency Covid-19 assistance component provides funds to help households impacted by Covid-19 maintain their rental housing. Prior to using B-RAP funds, HAC works with applicants to access financial assistance from federal, state, and county programs as well as private donations. This initiative keeps Brewster residents housed, supports the health of the community, and provides landlords with needed funds. The requested grant would fund the B- RAP for two additional years. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Please describe your project, answering all of the following questions in the order presented. Applications will be considered incomplete if all requested information is not provided. Include supporting materials (maps, diagrams, photos, etc.). Please number pages of application. 1.Project Description: Describe the proposed project. Is this part of a larger project or an ongoing project? The purpose of the Brewster Affordable Housing Trust is to provide for the preservation and creation of affordable housing in the Town of Brewster for the benefit of low and moderate income households and for the funding of community housing as defined in and in accordance with the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 44B. The Rental Assistance Program (B-RAP) creates and preserves affordable housing options in Brewster. In setting up goals, the Trust’s first goal was to “Develop and Preserve Affordable Housing: The BAHT will develop and preserve affordable housing and support the work of others seeking to do the same. Our work will serve the very low, low, and moderate-income individuals and families.” Priority initiatives included to develop new affordable housing both by building and without building. Creating a rental assistance voucher, or subsidy program, was one of the Trust’s first identified ‘non-building’ tactics. A rental assistance program encourages the use of present homes and Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 186 of 270 186 12 apartments for year-round rentals and assists tenants in obtaining and maintaining housing. This is part of a holistic, multi-faceted strategy of the Trust to address the myriad housing needs in Brewster. These goals and strategies are based on the Housing Production Plan and the Town Vision Plan. Prior to program design, the Trust researched local rental assistance programs in Chatham, Harwich, Eastham, and Wellfleet, spoke with social services agencies managing local programs, and had a January 2020 Trust presentation by the Mashpee (and Brewster) Housing Authority Director about Mashpee’s rental assistance program. All of the towns expressed positive outcomes from their programs and stated that the programs met a critical housing need. With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust decided to add an emergency rental assistance component to the program. Using previous Housing Trust CPA funding, originally approved at the 2018 Fall Special Town Meeting, the Trust developed the B-RAP program in response to identified needs in the community and designed the emergency assistance component in coordination with eight Lower Cape Towns and local social service agencies. The program, managed by Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC), provides a monthly rental subsidy as well as case management support to assist residents in affording rentals. The emergency Covid-19 assistance component provides funds to help households impacted by Covid-19 maintain their rental housing. HAC has an online universal application and streamlined process. Prior to using B-RAP funds, HAC works with applicants to access financial assistance from federal, state, and county programs as well as private donations. These funds include RAFT (Rental Assistance for Families in Transition), ERMA (Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance), HAC’s Workforce Housing Fund, a homeless prevention fund and private funds. Emergency rental assistance programs have been identified as a best practice in preventing evictions and homelessness. The Commonwealth has encouraged municipalities to consider developing local rental assistance programs. Mass Housing Partnership (MHP) and Citizen’s Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA) led numerous web seminars on the topic this spring. Furthermore, with the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), a MA Local Rental Assistance Program Data Base was compiled. See the data base here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1370AuhG6Ktms2tshEmFNN1cOqXQt- g5bcpAnPox7ZcA/edit#gid=0 . Brewster developed the emergency rental assistance component in coordination with the Lower Cape Housing Network. Facilitated by Community Development Partnership (CDP), all eight Lower Cape Towns and several social service agencies participated in a 6 week, weekly Zoom call to design program guidelines and outcome metrics for a Lower Cape Emergency Rental Assistance program. These program guidelines and outcome metrics are included in the supporting documents (see Attachments #1 & #2). The aim was for each Lower Cape community to individually fund an emergency assistance program and to also collect the same data which could be used for the entire Lower Cape. At the present time, Chatham, Eastham, Wellfleet and Brewster have designated funds for emergency assistance programs. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 187 of 270 187 13 The goal of B-RAP is to provide economic assistance for affordable rental housing, with social support services, to bridge households and assist them in accessing and maintaining market rate, and affordable, long term housing options. Additionally, to support COVID impacted households in maintaining housing. The parameters of B-RAP include that participants must be a Brewster resident or employee or have a child in Brewster public elementary schools. Household income must be below, or at, 80% Area Median Income (AMI) and the household paying over 30% of income on rent. The rental unit must be located in Brewster, be a legal rental unit, and have a written lease. Up to $500 per month rental assistance is available; however, the actual assistance amount is based on the tenant rent portion being at 30% of household income; childcare costs and high, or emergency, health care costs may be included in the rental payment determination. Monthly rent cannot exceed 110% of HUD fair market value rent for Barnstable County and participants may not presently be receiving other rental assistance. Lease payments are made directly to landlord. Participants are required to participate in case management, which includes goal setting, mentoring, and financial management counseling. There is an annual review and adjustment of rental assistance, with maximum of 3 years of assistance subject to funding availability and active participation in program. The emergency assistance component has more flexibility, is available for households up to 100% AMI, and is limited to a one year, $6,000 total benefit. (See Attachment # 3 for a B-RAP Fact Sheet) Outreach for the B-RAP begin in late September 2020 with program funds available for October 1st. One of the requirements of the program was affirmative and fair marketing. HAC conducted outreach to their email list of 10,000 subscribers, including their Affirmative Fair Marketing List relevant to Brewster which includes churches, schools, library, Chamber of Commerce and partner organizations. Promotion continues through social media, PSAs and press releases to local radio and the Cape Cod Times. A flyer (see Attachment #4) was created by HAC and also distributed by the Housing Coordinator to the Brewster Housing outreach list which includes Brewster rental housing providers, large employers, local social service agencies, childcare providers, real estate agents, Cape Codder, Brewster Community Network, the faith community, local representatives, the Council on Aging and other town entities. Brewster residents with rental housing needs applying for the Brewster Covid-19 Relief Fund are referred to HAC for the rental assistance program. At least 5 households have been referred to HAC after submitting applications for the Brewster Covid-19 Relief Fund. There is a present need for assistance and that need is expected to grow over the next year as government assistance decreases, protections end, and the effects of the pandemic continue. In MA, there has been a sharp increase in the number of evictions filed since the end of the eviction Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 188 of 270 188 14 moratorium in October (see Attachment #5). Local social service agencies have also expressed concern about a growing need over the coming months. HAC has already seen an increase in requests for assistance since the pandemic began in March. An attached document provides and compares 2019 & 2020 data on Brewster and Cape Cod residents receiving housing assistance funds through HAC (see attached document #6). One of the positives of HAC administering the program is that residents only fill out one application and then HAC is able to determine the best source of funding for the household. B-RAP funds are only used if the household does not qualify for other assistance or has already used all other available funds. In the current fiscal year, since 7/1/20, 26 Brewster households have reached out to HAC for housing assistance. 21 of these households requested financial assistance. As of November 24, 11 households had completed their applications and documentation, 8 households obtained funding and 3 were denied. A total of $22,949.08 was distributed. 5 households received RAFT or ERMA funding, 1 household received Workforce Housing Relief Fund, 1 household received private prevention funds and 1 household received $6,000 in Brewster Rental Assistance funds. The initial funding of B-RAP will allow the program to assist 12 households. This project to provide rental assistance addresses numerous criteria noted by the CPC: Contribute to the preservation of Brewster’s unique character - by assisting residents to obtain and maintain housing. Boost the vitality of the Town – The B-RAP supports both the economic and physical health of the Town by aiding year round residents who live and work in Brewster. It also keeps money in Brewster as funds go directly to landlords. Enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents- The program is assisting residents with maintaining their housing, a key component in quality of life. Save resources that would otherwise be threatened- Year-round rental housing is a decreasing and threatened commodity. Serve a currently under-served Town population – The program serves households making 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) for ongoing rental assistance and 100% AMI for emergency assistance. This 80%-100% AMI is often an underserved population. Additionally, the program is affirmatively and fairly marketed with an emphasis on reaching underserved populations. Language translation is available. Demonstrate practicality and feasibility, and ability to implement within budget – The budget is set and administrative costs are only 5%. This is far below the expected 15-20% administrative costs seen in programs around the state. Demonstrate a positive cost/benefit relationship – Keeping a household in a home for up to $6,000 is far less than the cost of homelessness. Developing one unit of rental housing at Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 189 of 270 189 15 Brewster Woods will cost over $400,000. Additionally, the low management cost enables the Town to serve more households. Leverage additional public and/or private funds – Public and private funds are accessed before the B-RAP funding. The online universal application enables HAC to connect residents with other available funding sources prior to using B-RAP funds. Preserve, enhance or better utilize existing Town resources – B-RAP compliments the Town’s Covid-19 relief fund. It also preserves and utilizes the rental housing that is present in the community. This is a concern as landlords consider selling properties that are presently year round rentals. Receive endorsement by other Town committees and the Brewster public at large – Because the Housing Partnership is reviewing housing applications, they have not been asked to provide a letter of support, but have been supportive of the program and received regular updates on the program. A letter of support from the Select Board has been requested. 2.For Historic Preservation projects: Attach proof of listing on the State Register of Historic Places or a letter from the Brewster Historic Commission indicating that the resource has been determined to be significant in the history, archaeology, architecture, or culture of Brewster. Please note that rehabilitation projects must comply with the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties. Additional information and analysis will be needed for projects submitted by churches/religious organizations to determine if they comply with the SJC’s Caplan vs. Town of Acton decision. 3.CPA Goals/Criteria: Describe how this project accomplishes the goals and objectives of the CPA (refer to the attached general and issue-specific criteria and identify which of these apply to the project). The proposed project addresses the following community housing goals: Increase the supply of year-round market rate and affordable rental housing for all types of households, such as young singles and couples, families, and seniors. o The B-RAP directly increases the supply of year round affordable rental housing by providing a subsidy which makes unaffordable rentals affordable. These are available for all types of low and moderate income households. The program also encourages landlords to keep year-round rental housing. Build support for addressing housing needs through partnerships with conservation groups and non-profit and for-profit developers, and increased commitment of local funds such as Community Preservation Act (CPA) revenue. o The program represents a partnership with other Lower Cape Towns and social service agencies to assess the community need, develop the program guidelines, and identify metrics for program evaluation. It is an example of the Lower Cape working Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 190 of 270 190 16 together on a regional level, then allowing individual towns to oversee the funding and implementation of the Town sponsored programs. Create housing that is affordable and appropriate for very low-income seniors and people with disabilities. o The program can support very low-income seniors and people with disabilities by assisting them in affording appropriate housing. Increase local capacity to plan, advocate for, and create affordable housing, preserve the affordability and condition of existing affordable units, and monitor affordable housing restrictions. o The program creates more affordable housing options in Brewster. Increase the variety of mixed-income housing choices in Brewster, particularly in or near commercial areas in order to support Brewster’s economy & accommodate household growth. o The program increases the variety of mixed income housing choices. It assists residents up to 100% AMI. By making rentals more affordable or providing emergency assistance, the program supports Brewster’s economy. Commit to a resident selection process that promotes diversity and does not include local preference o The guidelines of the program require affirmative and fair marketing. Additionally, the statistics gathered include racial data with an outcome goal that the program is equitable and serves households of color. 4.Community Benefits: What are the community benefits of the project? The community benefits include: keeping households in their rental housing; providing more affordable rental housing options; helping local employees and residents access rental housing; encouraging landlords to retain their year round rental housing; assisting community members effected by the Covid-19 pandemic; facilitating physical health and reducing the spread of Covid- 19 by helping people stay in safe, attainable housing; and supporting the local economy. 5.Community Support: What is the nature and level of support for this project? Include letters of support and any petitions. The support for the program has been wide ranging from the state to regional to local level. Massachusetts has encouraged municipalities to consider creating local emergency rental assistance programs, has created a data base of emergency programs, and had technical assistance sessions. B-RAP emergency assistance was designed in collaboration with the Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 191 of 270 191 17 representatives from all eight Lower Cape towns. Community support has been expressed by residents, businesses, social service agencies and housing providers. 6.Timeline: What is the schedule for project implementation, including a timeline for all milestones? Please identify any special timing considerations for the project’s implementation. If this is part of a larger project, is it phased? What is the timeline for the entire project? The B-RAP began with initial marketing and outreach in September 2020 and actual assistance available in October 2020. Current funding is in place through the fiscal year. The program was developed to be an ongoing three year rental assistance program, with an expectation that participants, with case management and goal setting support, would be financially independent at that time. Additionally, more affordable Brewster rentals, such as Brewster Woods, would also be available within three years. Covid-19 emergency assistance will continue until the pandemic has ended and the Cape Cod economy stabilized. Originally, this was expected to be a one year program. However, the need will be re-evaluated in June 2021. 7.Credentials: What are the qualifications and relevant experience of those undertaking the project? The Trust has contracted with Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) for the administration of the program. HAC has a decades long, strong track record of managing homeless prevention funding programs through federal, state, and local contracts. HAC is Cape Cod’s regional HCEC (Housing Counseling and Education Center) and has HUD-certified staff managing numerous programs. Prior to the pandemic, HAC’s annual homeless prevention program and State RAFT program supported 489 households by managing over $670,000 of payments to either move into housing or keep housing that is in jeopardy due to a crisis. HAC also administers supportive housing for 59 households, which pairs an ongoing subsidy for rent and case management. Attached are supporting documents (Attachment #7) providing further information on HAC’s qualifications. The Brewster Housing Coordinator also provides staff support to the project and communicates regularly with HAC. The Housing Coordinator has a Master’s in Social Service and over 20 years of social service work experience in homelessness, housing, and case management. 8.Budget/Need for Public Funds: What is the total budget (sources of funds and uses/expenses) for the project and schedule for expenditure of CPA funds? All sources of funds and expenses must be clearly identified. Provide the basis for cost estimates whenever possible. (Note: CPA funds may not be used for maintenance.) Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 192 of 270 192 18 If this is part of a larger project, what is the budget for the entire project (sources of funds and expenses/uses)? Total budget= $225,000 $75,000 designated from Housing Trust funds (previously provided by a CPA Housing Trust grant which was approved at 2018 Fall Special Town Meeting) This funding gives the program the ability to support 12 households in the first year. $150,000 requested for two additional years of funding. This continues the ability to support at least 12 households a year. The ongoing rental assistance is a maximum 3 year program per household. Clearly identify what additional funding sources are available, committed, or under consideration and why public funding would be appropriate. Include copies of commitment letters, if available, and describe any other attempts to secure funding for this project. As stated earlier, the B-RAP works in conjunction with, and after, other available funds (RAFT, ERMA, Workforce) have been utilized. Using CPA funds for rental assistance has been encouraged by the Commonwealth and presented as a best practice for addressing emergency housing needs from the present Covid-19 pandemic. Provide the most recent audited financial report or if none available, an applicant generated financial report that includes a balance sheet and operating budget. Town-sponsored projects must demonstrate why the project cannot be funded through the Department’s or Committee’s budget. Financials: Please see attached financial report, and ledger history, for the Brewster Affordable Housing Trust Fund. (Attachment #8) 9.Maintenance: If ongoing maintenance is required for your project, who will be responsible for maintenance and how will it be funded? N/A 10.Site Control and Appraisal: If the project involves acquisition of real property, provide evidence of site control (deed, purchase and sale, option, etc.). In addition, provide an appraisal of the property’s value by a state licensed appraiser using customary appraising techniques. The CPA does not allow funding for acquisitions if the acquisition price is greater than appraised value.

November 23, 2020 By Callie Clark, Tom Hopper, and Lucas Munson. MHP Center for Housing Data Since April, our team has been reporting on housing stability, including ability to pay, rent collections, layoffs, eviction lings and the ever-changing patchwork of legal protections and supports for households facing the nancial impacts of the pandemic. We’ve also tracked projections for the scale of the potential demand for rental assistance from research institutions, all of which built the expectation for a wave of potential eviction lings once the state’s moratorium ended on October 17. Here we are, about one month since the protections provided by the state moratorium ended. What trends are we seeing emerge? What might happen next ? What should we be tracking? This brief will provide an initial look at recent eviction ling trends, discuss potential intensifying and mitigating factors, and highlight trends we’re keeping tabs on as the crisis develops. A good place to start is the absolute number of new eviction lings for non- payment of rent made since the moratorium ended. After months of just a handful of eviction lings during the moratorium (none of which were for non-payment of rent), new weekly lings have trended upward. An average of 608 lings per week were made in January and February, the two months just before the pandemic came into full swing. Last week (Nov 16 – Nov 20) 689 new eviction cases were led for non-payment of rent, surpassing that average. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. _… 1/12 Attachment #5 Page 26Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 201 of 270 201 Intensifying factors During the moratorium, researchers & advocates warned about an eviction surge when protections expired. We have already returned to pre-pandemic eviction rates, and this upward trajectory could accelerate in the coming weeks due to a number of factors: Rent debts continue to accrue. The Census’ Household Pulse Survey has been conducted for 17 weeks throughout the pandemic, asking respondents about rent payment status and likelihood of being evicted, among other housing and non- housing related questions.

We know that these trends are not consistent across race and ethnicity, as both the health and nancial impacts of the pandemic have deepened existing housing stability disparities by race. Based on the most recent Household Pulse Survey data, between 23 and 48 percent of Black renters and between 12 and 27 percent of Latinx households were behind on rent, compared with lower estimates for White (between 7 and 14 percent) and Asian renters (less than 12 percent). 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators The num be r o f ho us e ho lds with re nt de bt re m a ins hig h a s the pa nde m ic c o ntinue s Ch a rt d is p la ys t h e e s t im a t e a n d 9 0 p e rc e n t c o n d e n c e in t e rva l fo r re n t e rs t h a t fe e l t h a t we re n o t c a u g h t u p o n re n t p a ym e n t s a t t h e t im e o f t h e s u rve y.

Not all instances of rent debt result in an eviction. Some renters have worked out a payment agreement with their landlords. Others will apply for and receive rental assistance. Many may voluntarily leave if the likelihood of repayment seems grim, choosing to double up or move to a lower cost market where rent is more sustainable. For these and other reasons, not every household behind on rent will ultimately be subjected to a formal eviction process. The Household Pulse Survey also asks respondents how likely it is that they will need to leave their home in the next two months due to eviction. Responses have varied over the past few deployments of the survey, but estimates have consistently shown tens of thousands of Massachusetts renters that are somewhat or highly likely to face eviction in the next two months and need to leave their homes. Using the 41,000 estimate from the most recent survey period, this number of evictions over a two month period would roughly translate to 4,700 eviction lings a week (using an approximate 4.3 weeks per month). This would far exceed any prior period of eviction lings. Of course, survey data should be taken with a grain of salt and it is highly unlikely that the pace of evictions will get even remotely close to this level. However, these data do indicate an extremely pervasive sense of anxiety and uncertainty among vulnerable renter households and a lack of condence in the stability of their current housing arrangement. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators Bla c k a nd La tinx ho us e ho lds m o re like ly be hind o n re nt Ch a rt ra n g e s re p re s e n t t h e 9 0 p e rc e n t c o n d e n c e in t e rva l fo r c o m b in e d s u rve y d a t a c o lle c t e d b e t we e n 9 /3 0 a n d 1 0 /2 6 .

A recent spike in call volume to the state’s social service information hotline indicates that people have increasingly reached out with housing-related inquiries. This rapid increase coincides with the end of the state moratorium and the announcement of new emergency rental assistance money from the Baker-Polito administration (to be discussed later in this brief ). The state’s marketing campaign, aimed at getting the word out about the availability of rental assistance, is a direct contributor to this increased call volume. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, the week of November 1 saw roughly ve times as many housing and shelter related calls coming into the call center. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators Te ns o f tho us a nds o f MA re nte rs fe a r ha ving to le ave the ir ho m e s in the ne xt two m o nths due to e vic tio n Ch a rt d is p la ys t h e e s t im a t e a n d 9 0 p e rc e n t c o n d e n c e in t e rva l fo r re n t e rs t h a t fe e l t h a t it is e it h e r like ly o r ve ry like ly t h a t t h e y will le a ve t h e ir c u rre n t h o m e d u e to e vic t io n in t h e n e xt t w o m o n t h s .

Page 30 5/12 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 205 of 270 205 Some housing stability impacts can’t be tracked via formal eviction lings. Formal evictions that go through the court system are a small subset of the various ways tenants are coerced or forced out of their homes. Tenants will often leave on their own in order to avoid the trauma of defending their tenancy and avoid the potential adverse credit impacts of an unfavorable judgment. Outcomes for undocumented residents are particularly difcult to quantify, as immigration status adds an additional layer of anxiety and vulnerability when considering how to respond to a Notice to Quit. While we may not be able to quantify these outcomes, we know that informal evictions have occurred throughout the pandemic, even when the state’s eviction moratorium was in place. Other potential factors not captured in eviction data include lease terms that ended without being renewed, small landlords that have sold their buildings when tenants moved out, and tenants that have been threatened with eviction or a small claims suit in a coercive effort to get them to move out. Tracking formal eviction lings will never address these known factors, and therefore we will only 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators Afte r re m a ining fa irly s te a dy in the s um m e r a nd fa ll, c a lls to the s ta te 2 1 1 c a ll c e nte r s pike d a g a in a fte r Ma s s a c hus e tts ' e vic tio n m o ra to rium e nde d in m id-Oc to be r.

Mitigating factors While trends are worrisome, there are a number of protections, assistance programs and procedural delays that could buy time and preserve tenancy: The CDC moratorium is still in place through the end of the calendar year. On Sept.1, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced a federal eviction moratorium would go into effect on Sept. 4. The eligibility criteria for tenants laid out by the federal moratorium is well summarized in this overview by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) and the National Housing Law Project (NHLP). The national moratorium will stay in place until Dec. 31, 2020. There can be no execution of judgments for protected households until after the start of the 2021. Landlords may be waiting until Jan. 1 to le for eviction, when the CDC moratorium ends and the rules surrounding the eviction process are clearer. Emergency rental assistance is an incredible benet for those who receive it. Rental Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) and other state and local emergency rental assistance programs are helping some residents repay rent debt and come to an agreement with their landlords that allows them to stay housed for the time being. New funding has been allocated to RAFT, the per- household limit has been increased from $4,000 to $10,000, and program enhancements have streamlined application processing. In recent months, the regional Housing Consumer Education Centers that administer the program have increased staff and have built capacity in response to increased need. While not every household who needs rental assistance will receive it, these programs have a deep impact. For example, the expansion of up to $10,000 in assistance under RAFT also preserves tenancy for at least six months, or through June 30, 2021 for households with school-aged children. The security and predictability this provides, especially during a global pandemic, is enormous. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. _… 7/12Page 32Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 207 of 270 207 More information on these changes and other components of the Baker administration’s response can be found on the state’s Eviction Diversion Initiative page. Procedural delays could buy some time. The court process is slow, and new procedural changes aimed at mediation will add signicant time to eviction proceedings. These modications include an initial hearing that is focused on nding ways to keep the tenant housed, connect the parties to nancial resources, and come to an agreement that satises both tenant and landlord. While a landlord has no legal obligation to approach mediation in good faith or accept a payment plan, this new process will likely keep some eviction lings from resulting in executed judgments against tenants. Further upstream, prior to ling for eviction for non-payment of rent, landlords must deliver a Notice to Quit to tenants. For non-payment of rent, this is usually a 14-day notice, however, for certain properties that were protected under the CARES Act the Notice to Quit requirement is 30-days (the Act covers properties supported by HUD, USDA, and Treasury (Low Income Housing Tax Credit), and properties with federally-backed mortgages). This notice period allows time to for tenants to seek out rental assistance or come to a payment agreement, or at least preserve tenancy a little longer. Notices to Quit were prohibited by the state eviction moratorium, so the relatively low volume of new eviction lings in the rst two weeks after the end of the moratorium could largely be attributed to this built- in waiting period. We do expect to see these numbers continue to rise in the coming weeks as more 14-day and 30-day notice periods end and turn into lings. Patterns to watch The housing stability crisis is unfolding and changing from day to day. As we track key indicators, here are some important questions and themes to keep in mind as we head into the unknown. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. _… 8/12Page 33Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 208 of 270 208 How quickly are existing rental assistance funds being disbursed? Who is receiving assistance? The largest rental assistance program in the state is the Rental Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT), which has been the predominant vehicle for the state’s housing stability response. Even before the end of the moratorium, rental assistance funds were in heightened demand. Data collected by Metro Housing Boston, the RAFT administering agency for the Greater Boston region, showed that in the rst six months of the pandemic (March to August) the number of RAFT recipients grew by 62 percent compared to the same period in 2019. Meanwhile, the median income of recipient households decreased dramatically (from $24,700 to just $3,084 for households without housing subsidies), average RAFT payments increased by 19 percent, and total payments under the program increased by 94 percent. These changes occurred largely during a period of signicant federal nancial support, including the additional $600/week payments under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program (FPUC), which ended in late July. While unemployment has come down somewhat from peak levels during the summer, employment has not returned evenly across industries, wage levels, or worker demographics. We know the need is still great, and federal nancial support largely ceased at the end of July, putting immense pressure on the RAFT program. In the coming weeks, demand for RAFT and other rental assistance programs is expected to increase even further. The courts have created a number of procedural mechanisms aimed at mediation during the formal eviction process. As more evictions are led and enter the queue for mediation, we are likely to see an associated increase in demand for rental assistance. How closely will patterns of eviction follow existing patterns of inequity? Low- income households and communities of color are most at risk of eviction. This is true at all times, and this pattern is even more pronounced in times of crisis. Recent research by City Life/Vida Urbana and MIT in the City of Boston revealed 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. _… 9/12Page 34Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 209 of 270 209 that prior the pandemic, 70 percent of market-rate eviction lings are concentrated in census tracts where the majority of residents are people of color (despite the fact that only about half of the city’s rental stock is in these tracts). In the rst few weeks of the pandemic prior to the state’s eviction moratorium, this gure increased to 78 percent. The report also highlights that eviction lings are even more likely to occur in census tracts where there is a larger share of Black renters. We also know that these patterns extend beyond just the City of Boston. In our work on the 2019 Greater Boston Housing Report Card, we demonstrated that the census tracts with the highest eviction rates were more likely to be low- income with a majority of people of color. Neighborhoods in cities such as Lawrence, Lowell, Brockton and New Bedford have historically experienced high eviction rates. 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. … 10/12 Page 35 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 210 of 270 210 We are likely to see similar patterns in the coming months, but potentially at a faster pace. Compounding these existing inequities are the disproportionate impacts of the pandemic, both in terms of health outcomes and job losses. As eviction lings rise, we will likely see them track with these other pandemic impacts. On our current course, we are heading toward deepening inequality and inequitable outcomes. What role will the federal government play? Perhaps the most difcult trend to predict is the federal response to the pandemic, and when we might see a new federal stimulus package, if it all. It is hard to understate how critical a federal response is to stemming the rising tide of housing instability. The income supports provided by the CARES Act over the rst four months of the pandemic were instrumental in replacing lost income. Key CARES Act provisions expired roughly four months ago, and the need has not diminished. It is unclear how a new administration and a new congress will respond. What is clear is that a bold, comprehensive federal response to the pandemic and economic crisis would go a long way toward achieving better housing stability outcomes and changing the current trajectory of eviction lings. 617.338.1700 C O N N E C T Neighborhoods + Housing Demographics 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators Co n n e c t w i t h Bo s t o n I n d i c a t o r s a t file:///N:/Other Committees/Housing/Jill Scalise/Brewster Rental Assistance Program (BRAP)/One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. … 11/12 Page 36 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 211 of 270 211 Economy Maps + Tools Transportation Interviews Arts + Culture Biennial Reports Criminal Justice Health + Wellness Education Jobs + Economic Development Get newsletter updates Subscribe to the Boston Research Snapshot.

We understand that this is a one - year contract with a potential for renewal for up to three years. We have addressed the bulleted items listed in the scope of work within this narrative. The goals of these programs are completely aligned with program services already provided by Housing Assistance Corporation: to provide economic assistance for affordable rental housing with social support services to bridge households and assist them in accessing and maintaining market, and affordable, long term housing options. Additionally, to support COVID-impacted households in maintaining housing. Housing Assistance manages RAFT, ERMA and HomeBASE rental assistance programs for the region, as well as more than 1,200 rental vouchers. Also, we recently created a Workforce Housing Relief Fund with similar eligibility criteria in that preference is given to households suffering from COVID-19 impacts, but secondarily can be used to subsidize unaffordable market rate rentals to make the monthly rent affordable. We have a strong track record in administering similar housing assistance programs, and managing specific eligibility requirements determined by different funders. Our Family Empowerment staff is deeply experienced with effective case work that coaches clients toward financial stability and independence. The Brewster clients would receive the benefits of this experienced staff managing their cases. In 2019, we served 195 households in Brewster through our full line of housing services and programs available to residents throughout the Cape. Although we have expanded access to our services online and through phone meetings, we also plan to quickly establish a Lower and Outer Cape physical location as soon as it is safe for us to do so. Currently, we have 14 staff working from home in the region, and even before the pandemic, we needed to add space for our employees and wanted to do so in the Lower and Outer Cape to better serve clients who need or prefer in-person assistance. In addition, we are developing a 30-unit Affordable Housing project in Brewster in partnership with POAH. Attachment #7 Page 40 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 215 of 270 215 We can meet the timetable and requirements of this grant s outlined in the RFQ, and because we have an already established process and infrastructure for managing rental assistance programs, we achieve efficiencies and can implement this program for a low 5% administrative fee. Due to a low administration fee, we estimate that we would be able to serve up to 12 households with the funds allocated to this project. We make applications available online, and we mail to people who prefer paper, and people can pick up paper applications at various locations. Our main intake form is already available in Portuguese, we are in process of creating it in Spanish, and we are exploring options to make it more available to people with limited English proficiency. We do have translation services that we access when needed to serve clients. a. Qualifications: A narrative describing the qualifications and experience in managing similar types of Rental Assistance Programs. Housing Assistance has a decades-long, strong track record of effectively managing homelessness prevention funding programs through federal, state and local contracts. This includes extensive experience with an eligibility review process that exceeds annual DHCD audit requirements, as well as experience securely managing landlord-tenant agreements and direct payments to landlords of clients participating in our programs. In addition to our rental assistance program management (details of which are below), Housing Assistance is the region HCEC (Housing and Consumer Education Center) agency, which means that we have HUD-certified staff managing from a single point of entry programs many state educational and counseling programs such as foreclosure prevention, reverse mortgage counseling, financial literacy and budgeting, housing search, affordable purchase, and first-time homebuyer education. We also manage more than 1,200 rental vouchers in the region through our leased housing department. So we have extensive resources to offer clients in the Brewster Rental Assistance and Emergency Rental Assistance program. Regarding our specific experience administering rental assistance programs, prior to the pandemic, our annual homeless prevention program and state RAFT program supported more than 489 households by managing over $670,000 of payments to either move into housing or keep housing that is in jeopardy due to a crisis. We have effectively managed additional funds allocated to our region in response to the pandemic. We also administer supportive housing for 59 households, which pairs an ongoing subsidy for rent and case management. These households are at increased risk of homelessness due to a past history of homelessness. After the economic impacts of the pandemic began to hit our region, Housing Assistance created a donor-funded Workforce Housing Relief Program that is managed very similarly to the state RAFT program, however unlike RAFT, it is available to people making between 51% and 100% AMI, and the Towns of Yarmouth and Barnstable have contracted with us to administer their town rental assistance programs using the same process. Page 41 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 216 of 270 216 With over $1.5 million to distribute to qualified, year-round residents, across the Cape and Islands, Housing Assistance Corporation has launched a new online application for clients in need of rental and mortgage assistance. This online application and the availability our intake counselor for phone and online meetings has increased accessibility to our programs for people from any town on the Cape. We have always provided paper copies of our application at other organization and municipal sites as well as our own headquarters and we do mail paper copies of applications to clients when requested. Currently we have 14 staff members working from home in the Lower and Outer Cape. We will soon establish a satellite office in the Lower and Outer Cape so we can offer in-person client consultations as soon as it is safe. This satellite office meets two of our longstanding strategic goals: increasing our physical presence on the Lower and Outer Cape and relieving space pressure for staff at our headquarters in Hyannis. Current public sources of funding accessible to Housing Assistance clients include RAFT (Residential Assistance for Families in Transition) and ERMA (Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance), a new state fund which was created this year to provide direct funding to eligible households that have suffered financial hardship as a result of responses to COVID-19, and ESG (Emergency Solutions Grant), a federally funded Homeless Prevention program. In addition to these public sources, for nearly three decades, Housing Assistance has administered a Private Homeless Prevention program which provides one-time emergency financial assistance for individuals and families who don’t qualify for public funding but need support to stay in their homes. In April, Housing Assistance created the Workforce Housing Relief Fund, an expansion of its Private Prevention program for anyone up to 100% AMI and is financially impacted by the pandemic. Across all of these programs, we utilize a vulnerability risk index to ensure we are servicing the most at- risk households within the region. This ensures that the dollars are committed to the households in highest need of the funding and does not rely on a first-come-first-served model where households at lower risk are awarded funds that are then not available for households at high risk. This is an optional add-on to Brewster’s proposed “first-come-first-served” approach. We are capable of administering the program per the town specifications. We have intake counselors that verify a person's income and their housing crisis and to determine which housing assistance program will best serve their needs, and to determine the appropriate level of subsidy for each household. We also assess for sustainability moving forward, and our eligibility process is periodically audited in accordance with DHCD standard to ensure fairness. This ensures that public and private dollars are used effectively to create the biggest impact for clients in need. Once a client is approved for funding, we pay the landlord or the bank directly, so it is certain funds are used as intended. We conduct initial landlord and tenant verification as well as periodic re-certification for tenants. We can meet the requirements of Brewster’s quarterly assessment metrics. We currently have eight staff handling intake calls, housing counseling services, and homelessness prevention programs. Once a person is assigned to a funding program, caseworkers take over the day-to-day management of the individual household. Page 42 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 217 of 270 217 Using our long history of providing both urgent financial assistance and long-term rental assistance in the form of a shallow subsidy, we will have both the expertise to determine households best served with ongoing rental assistance and the external resources available to service households with funds above and beyond the dollars paid through this RFP. With our existing resources, we will be able to utilize multiple funding streams to manage both ongoing rental assistance for affordability and the emergency situation presented due to COVID-19. We leverage all available resources so town money is used last. This integration is an important component in making sure that the process is as streamlined as possible for clients and as efficient as possible with town dollars. The case work would be handled one of our long-time employees, who was recently promoted to the position of Family Empowerment Director. Katie Geissler manages the casework associated with longer- term rental assistance programs such as HomeBASE and our Family Empowerment Program. It would be well within her expertise to provide the additional ten Brewster households with case work that includes budgetary planning with a goal of each household achieving self-sufficiency within the three-year period. Katie currently has a caseload of about 30 families, who she coaches on achieving financial and personal goals throughout their rental assistance period. Katie is supervised by Cassi Danzl, our Vice President of Programs and Client Services, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, who is responsible for all our homeless prevention and casework-related programs. Affirmative Fair Marketing We already conduct regular Affirmative Fair Marketing efforts for our services and affordable housing opportunities. The Brewster effort will be added to our promotion schedule through emails to our list of 10,000 subscribers, including our Affirmative Fair Marketing List relevant to Brewster which includes churches, schools, libraries and cultural/community centers, Brewster and Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, and partner organizations. We also will promote through social media, PSAs and press releases to local radio the Cape Cod Times. As specified in the RFQ, we will make materials available on town COVID-Response website pages, and through email outreach to local employers and non-profit organizations, housing developments with affordable units, and legislative delegations in each participating community. Applications will be available on-line on our website, or via paper and the US Postal Service. In all cases the process begins by contacting our office. Our staff will available to assist individuals in the completion of their application and can accommodate households with disabilities that may impede their ability to complete the application. We have a contract in place to assist people with hearing or speech impairments. Our staff can also arrange for assistance for households that have limited English proficiency. We acknowledge that applicants have the right to request a reasonable accommodation. b. Timetable: A statement attesting to the consultant’s ability to achieve the required product within the timetable allocated for performing the scope of the work. We can meet these timelines and are ready to rapidly begin marketing once contract is awarded. • Select Administrator and sign contract. Goal: August • Review program guidelines with Administrator, make any adjustments, and begin Affirmative Fair Marketing – immediately after contract finalization. Page 43 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 218 of 270 218 c. Cost: Administrative and Case Management cost should be included as one figure. Since we have existing trained staff and administrative processes and infrastructure, we can administer this program including the costs of case management for 5% of the total contract. If the final contract amount is $75,000 then our administrative and case management cost would be: $3,750. This would enable us to serve more households (up to 12) with the project funds. d. Resume: Include resumes of key staff, including those of any subcontractors who will be involved in the project. See attachments for Alisa Magnotta, CEO, Cassi Danzl, Vice President of Programs and Client Services, and Katie Geissler, Director of Family Empowerment. e.

The Brewster Housing Production Plan and Vision Plan both addressed the need to increase year round rental housing options in Brewster. The Rental Assistance Program aids in making rental units more affordable for residents. It also addresses the current need for emergency assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic and complements Brewster’s Covid-19 Relief Fund. The Select Board and residents of Brewster supported the creation of the Housing Trust to preserve, support and create affordable housing in the town. The Rental Assistance Program is an example of the Trust using its expertise and flexibility to creatively address housing needs in the Town. It also demonstrates effective collaboration in the Lower Cape community. Thank you to the Community Preservation Committee for providing financial support for community housing.

The CDP was instrumental in facilitating the creation and adoption by several Lower Cape towns of an Emergency Rental Assistance Program to provide relief for those families and individuals having difficulty paying rent due to economic constraints created by the pandemic. The requested funding would provide both emergency pandemic assistance as well as regular rental assistance. The pandemic has created an unprecedented degree of uncertainty in all of our lives and families need stability more than ever. The requested funds will help provide renters with the certainty of stable housing and landlords with needed income. This investment in the community will result in healthier, more productive citizens. I ask that you support this request.

The Housing Coordinator is tasked with all goals under the Community Housing Criteria as follows: 1- The Housing Coordinator has been instrumental to the Brewster Woods project which will create 30 units of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom rentals. The Housing Coordinator assisted with the ZBA modification of permits, the successful MassWorks grant award and the amendments to the CPC award and agreement. Brewster Woods has begun infrastructure work as of the writing of this application and expects to welcome residents in May of 2022. 2- The Housing Coordinator provided assistance with the facilitation of the second phase of the Habitat for Humanity home ownership neighborhood on Paul Hush Way. A blitz build was successfully held in partnership with the community in the fall of 2019. All 14 homes will be occupied b y Christmas 2020. We welcome our new community members to Brewster. 3- The Housing Coordinator, working with Town Administration and the Town Planning department held multiple meetings with Elevation Financial regarding the redevelopment of the former Wingate property. The Housing Coordinator researched and communicated with all parties the necessary steps to have 20% of the units designated as affordable through the Local Action Unit process. Wingate has received their permitting through both the ZBA and Planning Board. We expect this new housing, 134 units of senior 55+ housing to come online in 2022.

Creating housing on the Millstone parcel follows the Towns’ Vision Plan, addresses our need for rental housing, retains open space, supports economic health and helps to maintain the Town’s character. The Town’s Vision and Housing Plans guide the Trust’s work and goal to create community housing on the Millstone property, and have resulted in the following actions: · Identified both the need to increase housing options in Town and the strategy to use Town owned property for affordable housing. · Purchased an access parcel and designated the Millstone property for community housing at May 2018 Town meeting. The Select Board deemed producing housing on the property a strategic priority and gave oversight of the process to the Housing Trust. Subsequently, a feasibility study by Bohler Engineering found that the property is appropriate for affordable housing development. · Created a strong community engagement process. Community input has been a key part of the process. Residents have participated in a host of opportunities including the creation of Town’s Vision and Housing Plans as well as housing information sessions, interviews, three Millstone community engagement sessions, and two online surveys. Involvement has been encouraged with robust outreach and material available on the Town homepage and website, in the newspaper and at Trust meetings. Recognizing that stable, attainable and affordable housing supports the economic health and vitality of Brewster, the Trust is seeking to create rental housing, which has been identified as the Town’s greatest need. · Only 12 % of Brewster’s housing, versus 34% for the state, is rental units. Our affordable housing options presently have years long wait lists. Based on the feasibility study, the property could support up to 90 bedrooms, approximately 45-50 rental units. The Housing Trust affirms Brewster’s commitment to open space, and aims to encourage a plan which incorporates open space in the neighborhood. · The sample concept plan leaves over 70 % open space. Clustering buildings provides for more open space. The concept plan shows 12 one story buildings. If the number of buildings are consolidated and/or some are two story, this would enable larger buffers. Appreciating the beauty and character of Brewster, the Trust will develop design guidelines to ensure that buildings match the style of the community and that pleasant landscaping includes buffers and trees. · These guidelines are influenced by a design survey and input from residents. The next step is for the Trust to draft a Request for Proposals (RFP) which will take place at public Trust meetings over the coming 6 months and incorporate community input, including the Housing Plan. · The Trust cannot dictate the actual plan of the development but can set criteria to select the developer of the property. · The concept plan assists in the creation of the RFP. The RFP will include the program & property description, development & design guidelines, and developer selection criteria. · After selection, the developer would engage in a friendly, 40B Comprehensive Permit process.

The following is a general timeline highlighting actions after the parcel was designated for Community Housing at the May 2018 Town meeting. First Steps (2019 - 2020) Feasibility study on land (2019- 2020) In December 2018, the Select Board signed a grant agreement with Mass Housing Partnership (MHP) to provide a pre-development feasibility study to help determine the potential community housing options for this parcel. In July 2019, Bohler Engineering released the initial stage of the study, the Due Diligence Report. Determine community housing goals for the property (Fall 2019 - Spring 2020) This involves public input, financial realities, information from the feasibility study as well as guidance from the data and strategies provided in the Brewster Housing Plan. Barrett Planning Group was hired to lead the community engagement process, including interviews, three public sessions, and two online surveys. MHP and the Housing Trust also participated in information gathering, sharing, and presentations. The Trust worked diligently over several meetings to provide guidelines and goals around the Millstone property, taking into consideration public input, financial realities, information from the feasibility study and our housing needs as outlined in the Housing Plan. Completion of Bohler Engineering’s Feasibility Study (September 2020) With input from the community engagement process and guidance from the Housing Trust, Bohler developed a Master Plan to be used to assist in the creation of the RFP. The Feasibility Study, including the Master Plan, was presented by Bohler and MHP to the Trust at the televised, and recorded, September 2020 Virtual Trust meeting. In response to abutter concerns, the Trust engaged Bohler to perform an additional Watershed Analysis in Fall 2020. Next Steps (12 + months) Develop Criteria and Create a Request for Proposals (RFP) (Beginning in November 2020) Once criteria for the project has been developed, a RFP will be created with oversight by the BAHT and assistance from MHP. The RFP will include the program description, development/design guidelines, property description, proposal submission requirements and developer selection criteria. This will be a public process. Designate a Developer After receiving and reviewing proposals, the Town will select a developer and sign a disposition agreement. Probable Further Steps File a Comprehensive Permit Application with the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) The developer would apply for a Comprehensive Permit with the ZBA. Public comment is part of the Comprehensive Permit process. This is considered a ‘friendly 40B’ as the Town created the RFP and both the town and developer are working towards a common goal. Request Community Preservation Act (CPA) Funding Since the CPA came into existence in 2005, all Town involved projects to create community housing have included the use of CPA funding. This is the normal procedure. CPA funding involves an application to the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), approval from the CPC and a Town Meeting vote for authorization of the funds. Residents would have the opportunity to vote at Town Meeting on CPA financial support of a project. This could be before or after the Comprehensive Permit is filed. Finalize Funding The Comprehensive Permit is required before state funding can be applied for and attained. The state has one funding a round every 9-12 months and it generally takes at least two tries to successfully attain funding. Begin Construction Includes final review of plans by Town officials. Construction averages 12 months.

Kalinick, Assistant Town Administrator & Jill Scalise, Housing Coordinator CC:Ralph Marotti-Chair Brewster Housing Partnership RE: Update on Local Preference/Fair Housing Educational Forum DATE: January 4, 2021 The Brewster Housing Partnership, in conjunction with Mass Housing Partnership (MHP), will be hosting a virtual educational forum on Local Preference and Fair Housing on March 25th at 6pm. The Housing Partnership will be joined by the Affordable Housing Trust, the Select Board and the Community Preservation Committee. Jill Scalise, Housing Coordinator and I have had several meetings with Shelly Goerhing and Katie Lacy from MHP to design the educational forum. We are all very excited to be bringing this important educational forum to Brewster and hope that it will be the basis for future policy discussions. There will be ample time for questions from the multiple boards after the presentations. The Housing Partnership has been a key partner in providing housing education. The Forum will be taped and available for the public to review. Brewster’s Housing Production Plan, Implementation Strategy #16, calls for the Town to: Recognize the local government’s responsibility for fair and affordable housing in Brewster, and lead by example: reduce the potential for disparate impact on protected classes. Additionally, this initiative is in line with the Select Board goal, CC2; Develop plan to identify/address issues of diversity and inclusion as well as the mission of the Affordable Trust; The Brewster Affordable Housing Trust (“BAHT”) seeks to expand and preserve year-round rental and ownership homes that are affordable to moderate, low, and very low income households. Our efforts will foster a welcoming environment for demographically and socio-economically diverse populations. The BAHT is committed to education, collaboration, and community engagement. Please hold March 25th at 6pm on your calendar. Thank you. Donna & Jill CC: Brewster Select Board, Brewster Affordable Housing Trust Office of: Select Board Town Administrator Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 260 of 270 260 CHAPA Municipal Engagement Initiative Founded in 2018, our Municipal Engagement Initiative (MEI) works with residents on the ground to change the conversation and support existing local efforts in favor of more affordable housing . Each city or town has its unique housing challenges, so we focus on bringing together local businesses, civic groups, houses of worship, and other groups and individuals that are active in their community to build coalitions of support for affordable housing production. What is MEI Lite? The Municipal Engagement Initiative is typically an intensive year-long collaboration between the municipality, CHAPA, and the emerging stakeholder group. However, many communities need help getting their efforts launched without ongoing, long-term assistance. Through the MEI Lite, CHAPA will help a community to create a stakeholder list, begin outreach, hold and facilitate a coalition launch meeting, and provide some ideas of next steps as the coalition grows and evolves. MEI Lite Pre-Launch 1) Create a steering group to help plan the launch meeting and commit to ongoing organizational work. This can be a joint effort of the municipality, civic groups, interested individuals, or any combination that works for you. 2) Before launching, you will want to create your stakeholder group. This stakeholder group list will help you to consider who might take part in building a housing coalition to change the conversation and support existing and future local efforts in favor of more housing and affordable housing production. You know your community better than anyone else. If there are groups or individuals that are critical thought leaders, civic leaders or people who get things done in your community, you should invite them to be at the table. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 261 of 270 261 3) Pick a date and location for the launch. Typically, launch meetings are held in the evenings, but you know your group and how you will get the best attendance. Pick a location that is easily accessible, allows a large group to sit in a round if possible, and does not carry any negative associations for potential invited stakeholders. Some groups use a municipal building. Others use a community center or church. 4) A representative from the steering group should send out an invitation email to the stakeholder list. Proposed language could look like this: Help Build Support for Housing in “Community Name” Join us on “Date and Time at Location” to get involved! Do you want to see more housing options and more affordable housing in “Community”? Do you have ideas of how we can make that happen? Do you want to join an effort to build support for housing opportunities in “Community” and meet the housing needs of the community? Join us to learn more about what can be done and to get involved in a new Housing in “Community” Coalition working to make an impact. The Housing in “Community” Coalition is a group of concerned residents and community leaders working to identify and advocate for affordable housing solutions in “Community”. The work is supported by the “Municipality Name and Department”, list of civic groups on steering committee, and the Municipal Engagement Initiative of the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA). If you are interested in joining the Housing in “Community” Coalition to be a part of creating and advocating for solutions to our housing needs here in “Community”, please reach out to me at “Contact Info”. If you would like to get involved, but are unable to attend the first meeting on “Date”, please let me know and I will be sure to keep you up to date about efforts going forward. 5) Do some direct outreach to key stakeholders, either via email or phone call. Help them to understand the purpose of the creation of this group, the launch meeting, and why their input and participation is critical. If they are not available, ask them to suggest an alternative representative from their group or organization. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 262 of 270 262 Launch Meeting Planning Below is a standard framing of what the Launch Meeting should cover in some form. Again, you know your community better than anyone else, so feel free to suggest additions or edits. 1) A welcome and framing of why we are all here: To come to a shared understanding of the housing problems in Community and organize to create more affordable opportunities in Community. To create a broad constituency for affordable housing in Community. Not to replicate the work of each individual group represented in the room, but rather to coordinate efforts and support each other towards mutual goal. 2) Introductions of everyone's different roles/groups they represent: we need to make sure everyone understands why they and their various groups are a critical voice in this work. We do not want to spend too much time on this, but it is important that people start to get to know each other and their perspectives. We have a couple of activities that we utilize to help us do this without taking too much time. 3) Sharing of some basic housing data so we all start with that as a jumping off point and begin on the same page. Usually we follow this presentation with a brief discussion of what resonates, what was surprising and what was missing from the data presented. The group will likely identify additional data they would like to see in the future. 4) Identifying key barriers that folks view as keeping more affordable housing from being built in Community: this will be a big brainstorming session and we may need to do breakouts to help facilitate if the group is large, or do a partnering activity to ensure everyone participates. 5) Identifying the key concerns that the group will have to address in order to move an agenda forward (whether perceived/myths or real): We will be careful not to frame this just as myths. Some concerns will be valid and the group will need to have good responses to mitigate concerns. Other concerns will be more about misunderstandings in the community and help to identify areas needing better education about need/strategies. 6) Starting the conversation about what the next steps of this larger group should be and how you all will continue to coordinate and move forward. This should also include a list of “Who is missing from the room/discussion?” We Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 263 of 270 263 have several models that we have used and can provide examples and benefits/challenges of each to help move the group forward. This does not need to be decided in this meeting, but it is good to start the conversation. At the end of this packet, you’ll find a sample meeting agenda from the Brookline MEI Lite, which can serve as model for creation of your local Launch Meeting agenda. During the Launch Meeting CHAPA will facilitate the meeting but may call on the steering committee members to play certain roles or fill in gaps. CHAPA staff will take notes and conduct a follow-up call with the steering committee to make suggestions of next steps and strategies for continued efforts. MEI Lite Community Next Steps to Consider After the Launch Meeting, it is critical to build upon the momentum and help stakeholders to see how they can continue to contribute to the work. 1) Send a follow up email: Send an email thanking attendees and include those who were interested in the group but may not have been able to participate in the launch meeting. Summarize the key take-aways of the meeting (i.e. enthusiasm for the work, interest in a regular coalition meeting, folks who were suggested to include in the future, etc.) Let participants know that you plan to find a way to identify a date for a follow up meeting or preferably a consistent meet time that works for folks i.e. every third Wednesday of the month. Doodle is a useful tool to accomplish this. If resources were requested or referenced in the meeting, provide links or attachments. 2) Follow up Meeting: At your follow-up meeting, you can try to incorporate some of the ideas listed here. CHAPA staff is happy to provide more info on this work if interested. 1. Lifecycle of Housing: This exercise is an excellent opportunity to build off the momentum of the initial meeting and helps attendees not only express their own individual life experiences but also understand the experiences of others in the community and how that might play a role in identifying shared housing goals and plans. Contact CHAPA staff to obtain a copy of the activity and instructions. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 264 of 270 264 2. Who is missing in the room?: Continue to build on the Potential Stakeholder List document to think outside the box of whom you might consider adding to the voices in the room. Ask participants to contribute to this list, paying close attention to who is influential, critical to work moving forward, or who may have lived experience not represented so far. 3. Shared Goals and Plan: Participate in an exercise to identify plans and goals and strategically prioritize next steps as well as leadership roles for the various attendees. Dot exercises, breakout groups and other group exercises can be helpful for this. If your community already has a Housing Production Plan or Housing Strategy, you can use this as a jumping off point. 3) Follow-up communication: Create an excel spreadsheet with all of the contacts you are gathering in this effort. You can explore creating a Google Group, Facebook page, website, or using MailChimp to facilitate ongoing communications. 4) Take Action: Ultimately, the goal of this work is to lead to action steps, but this will look different in every community. You may need to respond to actions and issues quickly as they arise, or you may be able to step back and set your own course and goals. Specific activities may include:  Creating buttons supporting affordable housing or specific projects  Turning out large numbers of supporters at Planning Board or City Council Meetings  Creating Town Meeting Warrant Guides to help voters understand affordable housing issues and how their votes might support that  Organizing affordable housing forums on general housing or specific topics, such as accessory dwelling units, recently released reports, or proposed actions in your community  Taking housing data and messages to various boards and commissions in your community to create allies  Writing op-eds and letters to the editor in support of your work  Tabling at community events to build support and hear community concerns  Writing letters of support on behalf of projects you support  Creating a Facebook page or website to get more interest, share interesting articles, and share facts  Create materials to distribute that educate the community about your strategies, such as a fact sheet about a project you are supporting or a policy you are advocating for Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 265 of 270 265  Create materials to help dispel any myths and concerns they hear from friends and neighbors The current MEI communities have begun to change the conversation and are supporting existing and future local efforts in favor of more housing and affordable housing production that may serve as an example of what you can accomplish or work on. Feel free to reach out to CHAPA or any of these groups directly to learn more.  Housing for All in Acton supported the successful passage of 3 key initiatives at Spring Town Meeting, including an expansion of Accessory Dwelling Units and disposition of a town-owned parcel for affordable housing  Housing Medford supported the creation of Medford’s first Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance and is elevating concerns about housing in local elections  Engine 6 and Livable Newton are engaging more diverse groups in their support of significant developments at Riverside, Northland and across the city  The Amherst Affordable Housing Coalition successfully advocated for allocation of CPA funds to support new affordable housing by Valley CDC  The Housing in Essex Coalition is engaging in more conversations about affordable housing, housing in its downtown district, and housing’s impacts on local business and advocating for passage of a Downtown Mixed-Use Village District  In Arlington, Equitable Arlington is working to bring more residents together around increased affordability and mixed-use development, including looking at zoning changes 5) Be consistent. Outcomes and successes in each community will look different, but this work gets done as a result of consistent meetings, developing trust and relationships among coalition members, and creating the group infrastructure to respond in a timely way to developments and opportunities in your community.

Residents can submit comments or questions to board members either before or during meetings via specific email addresses set up for this purpose. Under our current arrangement, which has been in place since the early days of the pandemic, these meetings cannot overlap and must be livestreamed and broadcast on Channel 18 in order to comply with the Governor’s Executive Orders regarding the Open Meeting Law. Recognizing that the national, state, regional, and even local positive case rates continue to increase as we face the expected second surge, that our master meeting schedule for the next several months provides very little room to accommodate changes or additions, and that certain higher profile, regulatory, and land use boards and committees may benefit from enhanced public access and interface, Town administration, after several months of consultation is proposing to move to the more robust Zoom webinar platform starting next month. This change in format would impact the following committees in January 2021: Select Board, Finance Committee, Community Preservation Committee, Board of Health, Conservation Commission, Planning Board, and Zoning Board of Appeals. If this transition goes as planned, we would then transition all other committees to this platform in February. Zoom webinar will allow residents to call or video in to meetings and participate in real time. These interactions will be managed by a combination of BGTV staff, Town staff, and committee Chairs. Making this change will also allow the Town to hold multiple committee meetings simultaneously beginning in February 2021. The Conservation Commission has used this new platform on several occasions with positive feedback and results. We have also used it for the Community Preservation Committee’s annual hearing and our recent public forum on the Millstone Road project. Per the attached state and legal directives, significant restrictions remain in place regarding municipal meetings. This proposal seeks to work within those parameters while continuing to Office of: Select Board Town Administrator Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 269 of 270 269 prioritize the health and safety of Town officials and our residents. Given current conditions and in order to adequately plan this meeting schedule well in advance, I would recommend that the Board consider establishing a date certain that this new approach would remain in place at which point we could then re-evaluate our options.
