Thank you!
The Brewster Housing Partnership (BHP) was established to provide a local entity interested in
and advocating- for local affordable housing initiatives.
BHP’s primary accomplishment in 2022 was working with the Town to update its Housing
Production Plan. BHP members helped with two community forums, conducted several
community meetings, distributed surveys, and input survey information. BHP reviewed
proposed implementation strategies and possible amendments for the final draft.
The main purpose of the Housing Production Plan is to help our community make steady
progress toward the goal of 10% of total year-round housing units designated as affordable to
low- or moderate-income households.
The four major goals of the Housing Production Plan are:
1. Increase and diversify year-round housing options in Brewster for a range of incomes
2. Prevent displacement of current residents and facilitate housing mobility for
households looking to move within or into Brewster
3. Align development with the principles of the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan/Vision,
and,
4. Continue to build capacity to produce housing through staffing, funding, regional
partnerships, advocacy and education, and relationships with nonprofit and for-profit
developers.
BHP will share a lead role in a number of implementation strategies to fulfill the Housing
Production Plan:
Develop a collaborative housing education plan that connects to the Town’s Local
Comprehensive Plan (LCP),
Continue to ensure regular participation by staff and members of Town bodies in
available trainings on housing-related issues including fair housing, local and regional
housing needs, comprehensive permit administration, and other relevant topics.
Continue to make good use of 40B, including the Local Initiative Program (LIP), as a
vehicle for creating affordable housing.
Encourage public/private partnerships to facilitate the collaborative production of
affordable housing to meet a range of community needs. And,
Explore other opportunities for direct support for eligible households, including
partnerships with local non-profits and housing assistance providers.
The Housing Partnership will also continue to provide support for a number of other
implementation strategies.
The Housing Partnership drafted a letter of support to the Brewster Community Preservation
Committee’s plan to adopt the state minimum allocation formula, but to annually target 30% of
annual CPA receipts towards housing initiatives.
The Housing Partnership worked with the Housing Trust to conduct a Community Housing
Forum in October. Participating nonprofit organizations included Cape Light, Lower Cape
Outreach, Council on Aging, Housing Production Plan, Tri, HAC, CFP and the buy down program.
We would like to thank the Town and its residents for the continued support, ensuring that the
Town maintains a healthy amount of affordable housing and support services to meet the
needs of all residents. We also extend our deepest gratitude to Jill Scalise and Donna Kalinick
for all of their hard work and quick responses to each new unexpected challenge.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brewster Boards & Committees
FROM: Donna J. Kalinick, Assistant Town Manager
RE: Recent Lottery Information
DATE: February 15, 2023
As discussed at the last ZBA hearing, the Select Board has purview over the request to
the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) regarding Local
Preference. The Select Board on behalf of the Town can ask for up to 70% which
requires justification and approval by DHCD. It should be noted that Local Preference is
only for people who live in Brewster, work in Brewster, including employment at the
municipality or have kids in the schools that are located in Brewster.
In order to provide clarity around the recent affordable housing lotteries that took place
for Brewster Woods and Serenity Brewster, I have compiled the following information,
based on lottery data provided by Housing Assistance Corporation who was the lottery
agent for both lotteries. The backup data is not included because it includes personal
information of the applicants.
Brewster Woods: 30 units of affordable rental housing at 30 to 60% of the Area Median
Income (AMI) and one unit at 80% of the AMI; 3 of the units were not included in the
lottery because they were specific to adults transitioning to independent living. Brewster
Woods had a 70% Local Preference for the lottery which was 21 units.
For the 27 units that were available for the lottery, there were 128 qualified applicants
and another 112 applicants that were not qualified, a total of 240 applications.
Of the 128 applicants, 40 were in the local preference pool for 21 units. 64 applicants
were from other towns on Cape Cod; 24 were from off-Cape, of those, 4 were from out
of state. 81% of the applicants were from on-Cape towns, including those who qualified
for the local preference pool.
Of the 112 non-qualified applicants, 89 were from Cape Cod towns and 23 were from
off-Cape, with 2 from out of state. 80% were from Cape Cod towns.
Office of:
Town Manager
Housing
Serenity: 27 Affordable units, age 55 and up in the lottery at up to 80% AMI. Serenity
had 50% Local preference for the 27 units or 14 units. There were 53 qualified
applicants and another 19 applicants that were not qualified. A total of 72 applicants.
For the 27 units that were available for the lottery, 14 were in the local preference pool,
27 were from other towns on-Cape; 13 from off-Cape, 4 of those were from out of
state. 81% of the applicants were from on-Cape towns, including those who qualified
for the local preference pool.
Of the 19 non-qualified applicants, 15 were from on-Cape towns, 3 were from off-Cape
and 1 was not identified. 80% were from on-Cape towns.
We are keenly aware that due to the rising cost of housing and the lack of available
rentals in Brewster, many residents have been forced to leave Brewster and locate
either in another Cape town or off-Cape. Furthermore, we recognize that the need for
housing is a regional problem.

for Housing Partnership and the Affordable Housing Trust to ensure that members of both bodies
will be free to attend and participate. The Forum is intended to connect citizens with housing
programs and services make living on the Cape more affordable. No votes are anticipated by either
body.
6. Housing Production Plan Update – Chair Pansire asked members to review the 22
Implementation Strategies that are contained in the Plan and asked members to consider which
will be priorities for the Partnership. Coordinator Scalise noted that several activities are already
advancing the strategies. For instance, the Forum is addressing outreach and trainings. Chair
Pansire asked if any members anticipate other items that might absorb the Partnership’s attention.
She noted that the Partnership is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on
housing applications before the Community Preservation Act Committee (CPC).
Ms. Douglass noted that historically the Partnership has made recommendations for or endorsed
housing projects, actions and programs, and has brought forward applications requesting CPA
funding. She stressed that the Partnership continues to have an important role engaging the
community and advocating for Affordable Housing initiatives.
Chair Pansire asked if the Partnership would have a role in deliberations on housing components
of planning for the Sea Camps Properties. Assistant Administrator Kalinick stated that members
of the Partnership would have opportunity during each of the Sea Camp Parcel Committees’
Community Engagement processes. She stated that requests for CPA funding are anticipated to
come from the Trust or the Administration, and that all uses could be considered for both parcels,
except that a Community Center is specifically identified for the Bay Side Property. She noted that
the Trust has developed guidelines for the review of funding requests addressed to them.
Selectmen’s Liaison Bingham noted that she anticipates that the Town’s consultant is likely to
make suggestions related to housing once on-board.

7. Affordable Housing off Millstone Road - Coordinator Scalise reported that Preservation
of Affordable Housing (POAH) and Housing Assistance Corp (HAC) have received a letter from
the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) accepting the project under
the State LIP program. They presented their development plans for the Town’s property to the
public last week. A Comprehensive Permit application is expected to be filed toward the end of
the year. Selectmen’s Liaison Bingham noted that the presentation went was well done and went
very smoothly.
8. Housing Updates – Coordinator Scalise reported that leasing is almost complete at
Serenity, with folks moving in to the 97 Phase II units. Two (2) Affordable units are still available.
It was noted that these last unit are the smallest units, available to only to seniors over 55. It was
noted that the rents of $1,100 to $1,200, while certified as “Affordable” to renters earning 80% of
AMI, they are not necessarily affordable to the people earning 50% and 30% of AMI, who
desperately need more deeply subsidized housing. It was noted that some of the potential
applicants are holding out for larger units that will be available in Brewster Woods, which is a
“family” development.
Coordinator Scalise reported that Brewster Woods continues to experience delays, related to
problems in supply of a back-ordered switching gear, required to test out and bring permanent
power to the site. Testing is required prior to the issuance of Occupancy Certificates. Housing
Assistance Corp is going through waitlist applications and communicating with applicants.
Occupancy is anticipated in January. Assistant Administrator Kalinick noted that the Brewster
Woods process brought many lessons that will inform future RFP processes and should make the
future projects easier and smoother.
Coordinator Scalise reported that the Regulatory Agreement for the 2 Habitat Homes on Phoebe
Way had been recorded “today”. Plans for Town water are in progress and a ground breaking is
anticipated in 2023.
Coordinator Scalise reported that for 212 Yankee Drive The town had issued an RFP for
administrative services and awarded the contract to The Resource Inc (TRI) to oversee
construction efforts funded by a combination of CPA and Trust funds. Housing Assistance Corp
(HAC) will oversee the renovation and the resale of that damaged deed-restricted home to an
income- eligible buyer. She noted that the renovation for resale have required collaborative efforts
from Town Staff and Officials in the Administrative, Building and DPW departments. She added
that much of the progress has been the result of hard work by Donna Kalinick as the Town’s
Procurement Official responsible for drafting the RFPs and overseeing the procurement of public
and private work and services.
Coordinator Scalise reported that the Brewster Affordable Housing Trust offers an Emergency
Rent-Subsidy Program which can offer up to $500/mo, in rental assistance to households at risk
of becoming homeless. She noted that representatives from HAC will be available at the 10/27
Housing Forum to connect people with that program.

9. Sea Camp Properties Tours – Assistant Town Administrator Kalinick reported that the
Sea Camp Property Manager Ed Barber’s schedule becomes more flexible now that 1st Light
Beach is closed for the season. She anticipates a tour there will likely take at 1 ½ hours and will
likely not be scheduled until after the Thanksgiving Holiday.
10, FYIs - Ms. Douglass noted that if the Partnership wanted information regarding the
pending H1377 bill, sponsored by Dylan Fernandes, to allow a local option Real Estate Transfer
Tax on high value property transactions, there is an advocacy group called Local Options for
Housing Affordability (LOHA) based in Somerville, who would present information on the
proposed legislation. Assistant Town Administrator Kalinick stated that the Town would need to
research the full financial impact that an additional Transfer Tax would have on the fiscal health
of the Town. Ms. Douglass noted that the Partnership could initiate this research. Assistant Town
Administrator Kalinick indicated that Administration would research and hold policy discussions
when necessary. Chair Pansire stated that she had not seen that Mass Housing Partnership was
endorsing the pending legislation, yet, and that she would likely defer to their guidance.
Coordinator Scalise noted that Barnstable County is seeking input on the use of County HOME-
ARP funds. She encouraged members and the public to complete the on-line survey via link on
the County poster or through the County web site. She noted that paper copies of the survey are
available at the Town Hall and the Ladies Library.

on November 3 from 8:00a to noon at the Cape Codder Resort. She encouraged people to register
and attend.
Assistant Town Administrator Kalinick noted that Town Meeting is November 14 at 6:00p at the
Stony Brook Elementary School. She noted that the Local Comprehensive Plan was on the warrant
