I wanted to share this article from the Enterprise as evidence of recent unprecedented pressure on demand for the Cape already-drastically scarce supply of affordable rentals. I encourage the Town to press for; 1.Greater percentages of affordable units from any current or future 40B applications now 2.Programs to incentivize development and conversion of more Affordable rental units for year- round rental, even if those units will only be temporarily guaranteed to be affordable for 1 or 2 years 3.Development of more year-round rentals with greater than 2 bedrooms, to accommodate families with children and larger households which are currently being forced to double-up or accommodate other displaced family members 4.Local preference for displaced year-round Brewster households for Brewster-subsidized projects and programs. 5.Consideration of Brewster support of broader Cape Regional projects to address prevention of homelessness, transitional sheltering (even if temporary), and creation of more year-round affordable units across the Cape. Thank you for your continued awareness and concern related to the ever-increasing need for government intervention to address growing demand for housing on Cape Cod, which continues to outpace Cape workers’ wages and stable year-round jobs. – Jillian Douglass 2 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 2 of 301 Dear Community Members, The Brewster Community Preservation Committee (CPC) is accepting Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding applications for: 1.

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.

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 42 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 42 of 301 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. 43 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 43 of 301 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 44 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 44 of 301 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 45 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 45 of 301 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 46 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 46 of 301 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 47 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 47 of 301 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.) 48 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 48 of 301 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 26 57 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 57 of 301 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. Based on the most recent survey data available 11/30/2020 One month after the moratorium, evictions on the rise. | Boston Indicators Ne w we e kly e vic tio n ling s fo r no n-pa ym e nt o f re nt o n the ris e s inc e the e nd o f the s ta te e vic tio n m o ra to rium , no w ba c k pre -pa nde m ic le ve ls Th e s e d a t a d o n o t re p re s e n t e xe c u t e d e vic t io n s , b u t ra t h e r la n d lo rd s lin g fo r e vic t io n fo r n o n -p a ym e n t o f re n t .

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 61 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 61 of 301 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 32 63 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 63 of 301 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 33 64 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 64 of 301 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 34 65 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 65 of 301 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 66 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 66 of 301 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 3667 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 67 of 301 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 71 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 71 of 301 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 72 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 72 of 301 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 73 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 73 of 301 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 74 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 74 of 301 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.

A historic Grist Mill building and Mill Ponds are located on the south side, with historic foundations and paths on the north side. The Lower Mill Pond dam was historically constructed to increase water levels in the pond for power for the Mill, as well as to provide passage for migratory fish into the headwater ponds. A water control device is installed in the dam to control water into the headrace pond which operates the mill. The retaining wall supporting this pond is failing and is in danger of collapse, and the stone masonry wall in the main pool near the street is also degraded. Some of the base stones are displaced, and the wall needs to be reconstructed. The wall forms the western side of the fish run. In order to function safely as intended, the wall needs to be rehabilitated or replaced. The Town plans to replace the retaining wall in order to protect the diadromous (migratory) fish run. The failing wall is an historic landmark that cannot be removed and that provides a boost to the local economy through tourism.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Stony Brook Mill 2.69 acre site is divided east and west by Stony Brook- the “Herring Run” and into north and south sections by Stony Brook Road. A historic Grist Mill building and Mill Ponds are located on the south side, with historic foundations and paths on the north side. The Lower Mill Pond dam was historically constructed to increase water levels in the pond for power for the Mill, as well as to provide passage for migratory fish into the headwater ponds. Lower Mill Pond is one of the five headwater ponds of the Stony Brook watershed, and a destination for diadromous (migratory) fish. A water control device is installed in the dam to control water into the headrace pond which operates the mill. The retaining wall supporting this pond is failing and is in danger of collapse. Some of the base stones are displaced, and the wall needs to be reconstructed. The wall forms the western side of the fish run. In order to function safely as intended, wall need to be rehabilitated or replaced. The Town plans to replace the retaining wall in order to protect the diadromous (migratory) fish run. The failing wall is an historic landmark that cannot be removed and that provides a boost to the local economy through tourism. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement. The Millsites Committee intends to keep the current appearance of the walls; therefore, the design will include re-using existing stones on the face of the new walls, which are expected to consist of reinforced, cast in place concrete, similar to the recent dam reconstruction. While some exposed concrete is present at the dam, no concrete will be exposed on the new walls. Issues to be addressed at the site;  Renovation of one of the defining historic resources at the site, the large stone retaining wall that forms the west side of the stream.  CPC funding will preserve the historic look and feel of the property, including funding for stonework and site improvements to make the replacement retaining wall fit at a historic property.

The Stony Brook Valley was their first settlement due to the numerous natural resources: ample salt meadows, fresh water with strong tidal flows for mills, woodlands for fuel, a herring fishery, nearness to Cape Cod Bay. The first Grist Mill was built at Stony Brook in 1662 and other mills soon followed. A fulling mill (in cloth production- a cleansing and thickening process) was built circa 1700; additionally a tidal mill was built on Stony Brook around 1750. A tannery stood on one bank of the millstream, a part of the "Factory Village" until it was destroyed by fire in 1871 and never rebuilt. Opposite the tannery, the present gristmill was built in 1873 on the foundation of the fulling mill, which had burned in 1760 and was then rebuilt as a woolen mill in 1814. The “Factory Village” brought people from all over looking to buy cloth, boots, and food. Maritime industries in Brewster peaked in the 1850’s and declined during the Civil War, with the loss of the southern markets and slave-dependent industries. However, land-based industries such as the Factory Village at the Stony Brook Mill continued to thrive. Additional history and information on the Herring Run is on the DVD, Stony Brook, The Story of Stony Brook Valley, which is available upon request. Restoration of a significant important town-owned historic resource: The retaining wall forms the west side of the herring run, and also allows the impoundment of water in the headrace pond that provides water to the newly replaced water wheel of the grist Mill, turning the mill stone. The wall is leaking and slumping, its structure failing as toe stones in the wall are displaced. Protect the historical function of a site: This property was accepted on the National Historic Register on June 15, 2000. Repair of the site must not only maintain the fishway and use of the mill, but must also be done in such a manner so as to not affect the historical integrity of the Old Mill Site. Preservation/protection of the Stony Brook Herring Run and the Grist Mill Site provide an important public benefit: Today the Brewster Mill Sites Committee maintains the Old Grist Mill. The Mill also houses a display of many artifacts used throughout the Mill’s history. Adjacent to the Mill are walkways that allow visitors to observe how the water wheel works to grind corn, producing cornmeal which is then bagged for sale. The retaining wall also serves as a walkway on the west side of the fish run and east side of the headrace pond. Open Space Protection:  Restoration of the stone retaining walls and Herring Run will preserve habitat of threatened and endangered species  Enhancement and protection of an existing wildlife corridor 94 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 94 of 301 Brewster Natural Resources Department –Community Preservation Application November 25, 2020 Page 4  Preservation and protection of important surface water bodies, including ponds and waterways  Providing opportunities for passive recreation and environmental education  Providing access to water (Stony Brook and Lower Mill Pond)  Providing flood control/storage  Providing connections with existing trails or potential trail linkages. Over the last twenty years, Brewster has preserved an additional 1,000 acres surrounding the headwater ponds; approximately 400 acres of salt marsh, beach and uplands in lower portion of Stony Brook Valley, all of which provide habitat support. The project will provide improved fish passage to 386 acres of habitat in the headwater ponds; Lower Mill, Upper Mill, Walkers, Slough and Canoe Ponds. Each spring, the Alewives and other species travel up fish ladders maintained by the Brewster Alewife Committee. These fish are known are diadromous (incorporating both anadromous and catadromous species), species that use both marine and freshwater habitats during their life cycle. On Cape Cod, some species are anadromous (living primarily at sea, but migrating up river to spawn): these include Alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus), Blueback Herring (Alosa aestivalis), Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris), Brook Trout (Salmo trutta) and Rainbow Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss). The only catadromous (living primarily in ponds and rivers, but migrating out to sea to spawn) species in this run is the American Eel (Anguilla rostrata).The fish come from Cape Cod Bay and travel up Stony Brook to reach headwater ponds. This is the best run on Cape Cod and Brewster’s most productive run. Once open for fishing, the run has been closed by the state for many years due to declining herring populations. Over the past few years, the Alewives Committee and the Natural Resources Department have obtained a number of grants which have allowed them to engineer stormwater improvements at the site, along the Stony Brook Valley and to correct a tidal restriction at Route 6A. The Alewife Committee identified needed repairs to a deteriorating retaining wall adjacent to the run on the north side of the road, as well as to eroding banks and pathways along the run. The proposed solution involved repair and enhancement of the retaining wall by supplementing remaining vegetation with native plantings in conjunction with bioengineering measures which quickly re-stabilized the bank. This work also greatly benefited the numerous vertebrates and invertebrates that inhabit the stream and the marsh, where the Brook joins with Paines Creek and then flows into the bay, by reducing sedimentation and water turbity. There are a number of aquaculture grants in this part of the Bay which could be negatively affected by sedimentation from this Brook. This repair work has greatly reduced sedimentation into the run during storm events. The Town has also used grant monies to pay for Walkers, Upper & Lower Mill Ponds Water Quality Studies, which are on-going. This application specifically deals with restoration of the stone retaining wall adjacent to the headrace pond. This also includes evaluation and maintenance of the pools in the run between the road and Lower Mill Pond. Maintaining the run and improving the ladders enhances and protects this important wildlife corridor. All of the restoration work allows the site to remain open and functioning as it did in the 1600’s, providing opportunities for passive recreation, historical and environmental education. The Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) has been contacted and has responded indicating that the project site is within Priority Habitat 1385 and Estimated Habitat 71 and must be reviewed by NHESP. Recreation Enhancement:  Support multiple active and passive recreation uses  Serve a significant number of residents and visitors  Expand the range of recreational opportunities available to all ages of Brewster residents and visitors 95 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 95 of 301 Brewster Natural Resources Department –Community Preservation Application November 25, 2020 Page 5  Benefit other Brewster committees providing recreational resources to residents Support multiple active and passive recreation uses: serve a significant number of residents and visitors. The Stony Brook Herring Run and Grist Mill has long been one of Brewster’s most popular visitor sites. It is a regional attraction. Adjacent to the Mill are walkways that allow visitors to observe how the water wheel works to grind corn, producing cornmeal which is then bagged for sale. The property has numerous pathways designed to maximize access to the water, with over 1000 feet along the stream and 600 feet of frontage on the Lower Mill great pond. On each side of Stony Brook Road, families can stand on walkways and watch the annual fish migration, with its attending horde of gulls that periodically swoop down to catch a bite for dinner. Provide connections with existing trails or potential trail linkages. Brewster Conservation Trust recently purchased adjacent landlocked property along Lower Mill Pond. The Town will construct a stream crossing and pathway to provide access for the public to this property and its additional shorefront property on Lower Mill Pond, including a local landmark, the “Fishing Rock”. (Attachment 3 e) 3. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: The Stony Brook Valley, Herring Run and Millsites are important historic resources and as such are important to Brewster’s unique character. As major tourist attractions, these resources boost the vitality of the Town. Preservation of these assets serves more than one of the four CPA purposes: preservation of Open Space, preservation/rehabilitation of Historic Resources and preservation of Recreational lands. This project also serves to preserve, enhance and better utilize an existing Town resource. And, the Millsite property is the Town’s first town Open Space parcel. The project also saves resources that would otherwise be threatened (river herring, a threatened species of special concern . The Town has an award-winning project team helping with permitting, fish ladder design, and engineering, to include the state Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), the Cape Cod Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and our engineering firm, Tighe & Bond. The project is funded more that 50% through grant funds from our federal partner NRCS. 4. COMMUNITY SUPPORT: . The Town has leveraged many partners to provide funding for these projects, as detailed in the attached budget worksheet. This site is popular with all ages. Many school groups visit via bus, especially in the spring during the Herring Run. Over the last few years the Mill Site has added a “Mills & Gills” festival which connects the historic activities at the site with environmental education on the Herring Run. 5. TIMELINE: The Stony Brook Retaining Wall Improvement project has been underway for two years and as indicated above a substantial amount of the work has already been completed. The following timeline is specifically for the retaining wall restoration. It must be noted that any site work involving the pond/dam/fish run is extremely constrained based on the migratory cycle of the fish. 96 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 96 of 301 Brewster Natural Resources Department –Community Preservation Application November 25, 2020 Page 6 Mill Site Retaining Wall Project Timeline April 2020 Contract signed with Cape Cod Conservation District for design April 2020 Contract with engineering firm Tighe & Bond September 2020 Detailed site survey completed October 2020 Fish passage evaluation completed December 2020 CPC application December 2020 30% design plans February 2021 66% design plans February 2021 Permitting begins (Notice of Intent, MA Historic, Old Kings Highway Historic District) March 2021 100% Design plans.

The CCCD is a major project sponsor and coordinates with town sponsors to implement projects that meet the objectives of the CCWRRP as approved by Congress in 2009. The CCWRRP broadly focuses on watershed protection and fish and wildlife habitat improvement and specifically on projects that restore anadromous fish passage, projects that remediate stormwater that improve water quality for shellfish growing areas, and salt marsh restoration projects that restore tidal flows to tidally-restricted marshes. Background The Stony Brook Grist Mill and Museum is located at 830 Stony Brook Road in Brewster, Massachusetts. The existing Grist Mill and surrounding property are owned by the Town of Brewster and are overseen by the Mill Sites Committee1 (Collectively the Client). The Site dates back to the sixteen-hundreds and has great historical significance. In addition, the Stony Brook and the Mill ponds are thriving fish spawning routes. The Lower Mill Pond Dam is located south of the existing Grist Mill. The dam which is approximately 100-foot long was rehabilitated in 2013 with the construction of a new reinforced concrete retaining wall replacing the old stone masonry wall. Flow is discharged from the Lower Mill Pond though the primary spillway located on the east side of the dam and down the existing fish passage channel, or through a slide gate on the west side of the dam and down the headrace pond to the Grist Mill. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish 101 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 101 of 301 DocuSign Envelope ID: 55FA3601-52E1-48F4-9C3F-215E1A221C05 DocuSign Envelope ID: 606AE354-7D70-4C5B-A631-9A607F1FF29D Cape Cod Conservation District / CCWRRP-II 03/23/2020 draft pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement.

Scope of Services Task 1.0: Field Survey The town’s A&E design firm will subcontract a Massachusetts licensed surveyor to perform an on-the- ground field survey to obtain the existing conditions of the fish passage located on the north and south side of Stony Brook Road at the Stony Brook Fishway. The survey will include the fishway profile from the exit of the Lower Mill pond to the fishway entrance at the downstream marsh. The total area is approximately 0.80 acres. The survey will locate retaining walls, elevations at the weir notch or sill, weir top of wall, pool floor elevations at each of the pools, dimensions of each pool width and length, dimensions of each weir (sill width and top width), culvert inverts, size, material and condition, top and bottom of fishway walls along each pool, edge of water at enough locations to define the shape of each pool, the top and bottom of the wall forming the Lower Millpond and inverts for drainage and sewer structures found in the area. A minimum of 2 benchmarks will be established north and south of the Stony Brook Road. No boundary or right of way survey’s will be performed. The right of ways and property lines will be taken from GIS and Assessors maps and therefore will be shown as approximate. All field work will be conducted to produce plans at a scale of 1” = 40’ with 1’ contours. All data will be provided on the same project datum previously established is on the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System of NAD 1983 and vertically on NAVD 1988. The new survey will be merged with the existing survey. Existing Conditions plan and profile in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 and delivered in electronic file format along with pdf’s and hard copies. Drawings will show the fishway in a plan view with matching profile below the plan view. Plans stamped by a Massachusetts Professional Land Surveyor will be provided upon request. The completed survey will be provided to the CCCD prior to initiation of the retaining wall design for review to determine if the fishway section adjacent to the subject retaining wall meets current fish passage design standards. And if appropriate, any recommended fishway design improvements will be provided to the town’s A&E firm to assure the new retaining wall design is consistent with the recommendations. Design sequencing is as follows: 1. A kick-off meeting to be conducted with design lead, survey lead, along with town, NRCS and CCCD representatives to review the project objectives, survey plan, design process and requirements, schedule, and reviews and approvals. 2. Collection of field data. 3.

Tighe & Bond is pleased to submit this proposal for improvements to the existing Stony Brook Grist Mill Pond retaining walls. The proposed improvements consist of a new retaining wall separating the Grist Mill headrace pond and the fish ladder channel, and a new retaining wall for fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert. Tighe & Bond has prepared this scope of work and proposed fee based on our discussions to date, a site visit performed on October 23, 2019 and an existing record drawing set entitled “Lower Mill Pond Dam Rehabilitation, Brewster, Massachusetts” prepared by Tighe & Bond dated August 2012. The tasks described below include performing additional survey to evaluate the fishway profile and preparing plans and technical specifications for the construction of the proposed retaining walls. It is our understanding that permit application for this project will be performed by the Town as a cost savings measure, but we can provide these services if needed. Bid document preparation, bidding assistance, and construction phases services are not included since they cannot be properly defined until the design is complete and potential permit conditions are known. Project Understanding The Stony Brook Grist Mill and Museum is located at 830 Stony Brook Road in Brewster, Massachusetts. The existing Grist Mill and surrounding property are owned by the Town of Brewster and are overseen by the Mill Sites Committee1 (Collectively the Client). The Site dates back to the sixteen-hundreds and has great historical significance. In addition, the Stony Brook and the Mill ponds are thriving fish spawning routes. The Lower Mill Pond Dam is located south of the existing Grist Mill. The dam which is approximately 100-foot long was rehabilitated in 2013 with the construction of a new reinforced concrete retaining wall replacing the old stone masonry wall. Flow is discharged from the Lower Mill Pond though the primary spillway located on the east side of the dam and down the existing fish passage channel, or through a slide gate on the west side of the dam and down the headrace pond to the Grist Mill. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement. It is our understanding that the Millsites Committee intends to keep 1 https://www.brewster-ma.gov/history-of-factory-village-and-stony-brook-grist-mill 115 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 115 of 301 - 2 - the current appearance of the walls; therefore, the design will include re-using existing stones on the face of the new walls, which are expected to consist of reinforced, cast in place concrete, similar to the recent dam reconstruction. While some exposed concrete is present at the dam, we understand that no concrete will be exposed on the new walls. Both headrace pond and fish pool have been partially filled in with sediment. As a result, another design goal is to dredge these areas, if costs are within the Town’s financial means. Tighe & Bond will use the topographic survey from our dam re-construction design. Geotechnical Design Services Task 1.0: Field Survey Tighe & Bond will subcontract a Massachusetts licensed surveyor to perform an on-the- ground field survey to obtain the existing conditions of the fish passage located on the north and south side of Stony Brook Road at the Stony Brook Fishway. The survey will include the fishway profile from the exit of the Lower Mill pond to the fishway entrance at the downstream marsh. The total area is approximately 0.80 acres. The survey will locate retaining walls, elevations at the weir notch or sill, weir top of wall, pool floor elevations at each of the pools, dimensions of each pool width and length, dimensions of each weir (sill width and top width), culvert inverts, size, material and condition, top and bottom of fishway walls along each pool, edge of water at enough locations to define the shape of each pool, the top and bottom of the wall forming the Lower Millpond and inverts for drainage and sewer structures found in the area. A minimum of 2 benchmarks will be established north and south of the Stony Brook Road. No boundary or right of way survey’s will be performed. The right of ways and property lines will be taken from GIS and Assessors maps and therefore will be shown as approximate. Field work will be conducted to produce plans at a scale of 1” = 40’ with 1’ contours. Data will be provided on the same project datum previously established is on the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System of NAD 1983 and vertically on NAVD 1988. The new survey will be merged with the existing survey. Existing Conditions plan and profile in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 and delivered in electronic file format along with pdf’s and hard copies. Drawings will show the fishway in a plan view with matching profile below the plan view. Plans stamped by a Massachusetts Professional Land Surveyor will be provided upon request. Task 2.0: Retaining Wall Drawings Tighe & Bond will prepare draft and final plans, technical specifications, opinion of probable cost and operation and maintenance plan, for review by the Client. We will provide up to seven technical specifications necessary for the re-construction of the wall improvements. Our scope includes preparation of the following sections in the Construction Specifications Institute 1995 format: · 02200 Site Preparation · 02210 Subsurface Investigations · 02225 Selective Demolition · 02315 Excavation, Backfill, Compaction and Dewatering · 02320 Borrow Materials · 02921 Vegetative Support Material, Hydroseeding and Mulching 116 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 116 of 301 - 3 - · 03100 Concrete Forms and Accessories, Cast-in-Place Concrete and Concrete Reinforcement It should be noted that each of the specifications will include a section addressing Quality Assurance to be implemented during construction. We will provide a maximum of ten Drawing Sheets. The Contract Drawings will include the following sheets: · Cover Sheet; · General Notes and Legend; · Existing Condition Plan and Profile and Site Preparation Plan (up to 2 sheets); · Proposed Condition Plan (up to 2 sheets); · Cross Sections; · Details (up to 2 sheets); · Structural Notes and Details. The operation and maintenance plan will include the following sections: · Vegetation management plan; · Re-pointing of the stone-masonry wall veneer; · Structural aspects of new concrete wall. Plans and specifications will be delivered according to the following stages: · Kickoff Meeting – Tighe & Bond, along with town, NRCS and CCCD representatives shall participate in a kickoff meeting to review the project objectives, survey plan, design process and requirements, schedule, and reviews and approvals. · New Survey – Tighe & Bond will submit the new survey, integrated with the existing survey from the dam re-construction project, for review by the Town Fish Passage Specialist. o Prior to the 33% deliverable, the Town Fish Passage Specialist will review survey and assess whether changes are needed in the fishway passage near the retaining wall to be improved. o The Town Fish Passage Specialist will eventually prepare a conceptual design of the fishway passage (south) for Tighe & Bond to incorporate into the 33% design, if changes to the fishway passage to be incorporated in the retaining wall design are needed. Tighe & Bond will meet with the Town Fish Passage Specialist to discuss fishway improvements and preliminary wall design. o Tighe & Bond will prepare a separate contract amendment for additional design services to include the required retaining wall design based on the Town Fish Passage Specialist conceptual design, if modifications are needed. · 33% Draft Plans – Tighe & Bond will prepare preliminary design plans at the 33% level for review and comments by the Client. Tighe & Bond will conduct a conference call with the Client to present the 33% plans to discuss the design and address the Town’s questions and comments. · 67% Draft Plans - Tighe & Bond will incorporate comments from the Client at the 33% level and will move forward with design. Tighe & Bond will provide updated plans for review at the 67% level and conduct a conference call to discuss the Town’s questions and comments. This level of plans is considered suitable for permit application to be performed by the Town. 117 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 117 of 301 - 4 - · 100% Plans and Specifications - Tighe & Bond will incorporate comments from the Client and the permitting agencies from the 67% level for final plans and specifications. We will conduct a conference call to discuss the Town’s final questions and comments. It is assumed that the permitting agencies will be in general agreement with our design and any revisions to address their permit conditions will be minor. Construction schedule, construction performance time and bid schedule will be evaluated after 100% plans are delivered with input from the Town. Task 3.0: Project Coordination Tighe & Bond’s project manager will email the project team on a monthly basis with a project report that will include a bullet list with work completed since the previous report and the anticipated work to be performed the following month, to allow the team to follow progression. SCHEDULE Tighe & Bond will begin work on this project upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed and signed contract with the Town of Brewster. We anticipate the following schedule. · Survey completed after 8 weeks from Notice to Proceed. Survey will be submitted for review by the Town Fish Passage Specialist to assess whether changes are needed in the fishway passage near the retaining wall to be improved. · 33% Draft Plans – Submitted for review after 8 weeks from receipt of conceptual fishway passage from the Town Fish Passage Specialist and receipt of a contract amendment to fish passage modification design, if needed. 67% Draft Plans and Specifications – Submitted for review within 8 weeks of receipt of Town’s comments to 33% design submittal. · 100% Plans and Specifications - Completed 5 weeks after 67% level comments and Town acquired permits are received.

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 128 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 128 of 301 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 129 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 129 of 301 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. 130 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 130 of 301 www.capeveterans.com/homes4vets 6 | Page 6 Brewster Community Preservation Fund Application: Veterans Home in Dennis 5. Community Support: What is the nature and level of support for this project? Include letters of support and any petitions. Community support is high and multifaceted, with leaders from various industries and communities playing key roles in the Project’s success. 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 132 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 132 of 301 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.) 133 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 133 of 301 86.2% of Every Dollar Raised goes toward Programs and Services for Veterans 9 | Page 9 Brewster Community Preservation Fund Application: Veterans Home in Dennis This Project is currently underway, with a formal bidding process held for vendors by Cape Associates, Inc.

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.

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. 191 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 191 of 301 Dear Community Members, The Brewster Community Preservation Committee (CPC) is accepting Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding applications for: 1.

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. The 26 Red Top Road site came to Habitat for Humanity through a private resident of Brewster. 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. 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 preference. We anticipate sitework to begin 1st qrtr of 2022, wall-raising in the Fall 2022, and COs issued Fall 2023. Total development are estimated to be $786,884. Private donations of $50k have already been pledged.

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 5,024 202 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 202 of 301 •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 203 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 203 of 301 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. 204 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 204 of 301 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 price but may be a djusted 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 home. 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 205 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 205 of 301 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. 206 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 206 of 301 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.

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. 209 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 209 of 301 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 210 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 210 of 301 •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.

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.

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. Desmond McMahon has been on the Habitat staff as a Lead Carpenter since 2012. He had made his living in residential and commercial construction before joining Habitat’s staff. While a builder in the private sector, he attained 10-year volunteer status with Habitat helping on Saturdays and participating on disaster relief trips with Habitat crews. Mike Sullivan joined the staff in 2017, when the affiliate’s growth necessitated another Lead Carpenter to supervise and lead crews of volunteers at multiple jobs sites. Before joining Habitat, Mike spent over 35 years as a self-employed designer and builder of residential properties. All construction staff have construction supervisors’ licenses. Habitat is led by Executive Director, Wendy Cullinan. After an extensive open search process, Wendy was unanimously affirmed by the Board of Directors to assume the responsibility of Executive Director on January 1, 2020. As Habitat Cape Cod’s Resource Development Director 2013-2019, Wendy ably managed all fundraising operations, including grant proposals, corporate relations, 256 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 256 of 301 marketing, and communications. She also worked closely with and grew Habitat’s relationships with the faith-based community, and volunteer committees focusing on special events and ReStore development. Prior to her position at Habitat, Wendy enjoyed working as a consultant for several Cape Cod non- profits including, the National Marine Life Center, Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Woods Hole Research Center and Gosnold Treatment Center.

Thank you for your good work on this important project. My comments: These questions may be too granular to be addressed within the Charter. Committee Recalls – It is not uncommon for citizens to be members of multiple boards – both appointed and elected. If the recall process removes a citizen from an elected board position, what effect does that have on any appointed committee memberships they may hold? And a variation of the first point, if a member of multiple appointed boards is removed from one board, what effect, if any, will that have on their other citizen representative committee memberships? (I assume that their committee representative membership on other boards will end as they are no longer a member of that committee.) Definition of (appointed and elected) Committee member responsibilities: Is there a Select Board policy regarding committee member responsibilities that would provide guidance for defining when those have not been met by an individual? The draft charter covers attendance only. Some clarity around SB policy about committee membership responsibilities might be useful either in the charter or in a document referenced by the charter. Paul Ruchinskas’ comments: I reviewed the summary of the charter and proposed changes from current practices and thought all looked pretty reasonable with the exception of 3 items that I had questions about: 1) No ability to call a quorum at Town Meeting: I understand that for some hot button, single issues that the room shrinks once that issue is disposed of; however, I do think that we should maintain a quorum for all Town warrant articles. 2) 50% quorum at continued Town Meeting: similar to 1)-think quorum should still be maintained at same level as at initial meeting. 289 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 289 of 301 3) Hiring of police and fire chiefs by Select Board- I did not realize the SB did not even have to consult with the Town Administrator/Manager for these hires. I understand that this was probably done to have some separation of powers in town government; however, I think that the police and fire chiefs should be hired by the Town Manager rather than the Board. The manager has been hired to run the Town according to the policies set by the Select Board; however, I think she/he should have the ability to hire for all staff positions. 290 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 290 of 301 News From The Woods, November 2020 291 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 291 of 301 2020 35th Anniversary Annual Appeal Cape Rep’s Annual Appeal is now underway.

The Next Stage: Renovation of The Barn 292 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 292 of 301 We are excited to announce that Phase 2A of the Crosby Barn Restoration and Rehabilitation Project will begin in just a few short weeks! Phase 2A is the full renovation of the exterior of the Barn, including the addition of the future bathroom, and the restoration of the cupola and the Barn floor. Our hope is to finish this work by late May, 2021. When complete, the Barn will look exactly as it should, resonant of the past, alive with the present and hopeful for the future. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Brewster Community Preservation Committee and the Massachusetts Cultural Council for making it possible for us to move forward with this historical restoration. Fundraising is ongoing for this exciting project. More information about the history of the Barn, the renovation and how you can be involved can be found on our website. And stay tuned for renovation updates and events! Funding for the Crosby Barn Project has been provided by: The generosity of the townspeople of Brewster through the Community Preservation Act Grant program, which, in part, supports historic preservation projects. The Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund, a program of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, administered through a collaborative arrangement between MassDevelopment and the Mass Cultural Council. Spotlight on Herb & Dianne Lerner 293 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 293 of 301 “Live theater has always been our favorite art form,” said Cape Rep supporters Herb and Dianne Lerner. “We are fortunate to be able to enjoy great theater in our two home town areas--Washington, D.C. and Cape Cod, and Cape Rep is one of our favorite venues in this area.” The Lerners have attended shows at Cape Rep since 2003, and they are also engaged and committed to Cape Rep’s Barn Restoration Project, attending Campaign Committee meetings and talking with craftsman David Mason about the historic doors and windows he restored for use in the building. They recalled that one of the first shows they saw at Cape Rep was Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me, a play by Frank McGuinness about the survival of humanity through the story of an American, an Irishman and an Englishman who are kidnapped and thrown together in a cell. “It was years ago, but I remember it vividly,” Dianne said. She and Herb said Cape Rep’s innovative productions, like Billy Elliot and Art Devine’s 9-Ball are what sets Cape Rep apart from other theaters. “People who attend love it. It’s really special to see people enjoying the theater,” she added. Throughout the years, the Lerners have made generous contributions in support of the theater. “We know that ticket sales cannot cover the full cost of the high quality productions at Cape Rep, so we regularly make annual donations and try to increase our giving each year,” they said. “In addition to our annual donations, we have included Cape Rep in our estate planned giving by designating it as a beneficiary of our Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust and in our wills. This should provide greater financial resources to sustain Cape Rep in the future. And we encourage other supporters to include the Cape Rep in their estate plans.” Herb, a retired CPA/attorney, is well-versed in the benefits of estate planning, and he advocates for non-profits, the theater included, to provide patrons with more information about planned giving. “Dianne and I feel that the long-term viability of a theater has to come from two sources--effective annual fundraising and longer term donations in the form of planned giving by the supporters who love the theater and are willing to commit to it as part of their estate planning,” he said. They also wanted to make clear that substantial wealth is not a requirement for planned or legacy giving. “People think you have to have a lot of money to make a testamentary gift, but that is not so,” Dianne said. They mentioned it can be in the form of a bequest in a will; designating the theater as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a 401K or other annuity account; or a charitable remainder annuity trust. They also mentioned it can be something as simple as the suggested memorial donation that is often included in an obituary. 294 Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Inc. | Red Top Rd Community Housing | December 1, 2020 294 of 301 All these amounts of money, even ‘small’ donations, add up, and make a big difference in the theater’s funding, said Producing Artistic Director Janine Perry. Although cliché, the phrase “every penny counts” rings true. “Local theaters like Cape Rep are a very special part of a vibrant community. We should make every effort to provide for their long-term financial viability,” the Lerners said. Legacy Giving Please consider Cape Rep in your planned giving or designate the theater as a beneficiary. We gratefully accept estate gifts of any size. There may be tax advantages associated with such gifts; please contact your attorney or accountant for more information. And if you have already made such arrangements, thank you! If you would like us to properly acknowledge your generosity, please get in touch so we can ensure your gift intentions are honored exactly as you wish.

Sharon spoke to determining Policy Position on potential changes for Community Preservation Fund Allocation Formula where the CPC is the primary responsible party and wondered when we would be moving on this. Faythe said her plan was to first get through the December applications and then put together a specific plan. Nothing is firmed up, but we will focus on in the spring. 3.Overview of Town Charter Draft – request for comments Faythe said the charter itself follows the packet, page 39, about town committees and boards, as she read through it, she realized this committee has a great deal of experience with appointed and elected boards that would be helpful if we had any questions or comments for the Charter Committee. Faythe asked the committee to please read through this and get back to her with any comments or questions before December 7th. She will pull them together and pass them along to the committee. Cynthia Bingham added that they are looking for exactly that. 4.Financial Report Sharon said that we got a nice windfall for FY21 for State Contribution, we received over 35% for a match $368,430, well over twice what we were hoping for.

The Affordable Housing Trust completed the pre-feasibility phase and had a presentation regarding the concept 2 plan; rental housing with up to 12 individual units with up to 90 bedrooms of rental housing.

We are doing a watershed analysis, presented to the Trust at their January meeting. Once that is complete, we will work on request for proposal. That process takes 4-8 months. Faythe has been in contact with the Chair of the Dog Park Committee. They are planning on sending in an application for our December deadline but were unsure of their ability to submit by Dec. 1st so she gave him a deadline of Dec. 16th for review in time for Spring Town Meeting. Donna Kalinick attended the Housing Partnership meeting. The chair asked about the new process in place for reviewing housing applications. Dec. 9th is the meeting where we distribute applications; the second meeting, we vote on timeliness. Faythe will send Ralph a summary, and we know definitely there will be items for their review in January. 6.Approval of minutes from 10/28/20 Public Hearing Paul – p.1 intro comments – last sentence, select board appoints 4 citizen members P. 5, Paul’s comments – roof needs replacement may cost around $100,000.
