In the view of the BHP, this position is an essential component of the Town ' s efforts to make progress towards the initiatives outlined in the Housing Production Plan . In our view, significant progress has been made since the position was filled in July 2017 . This positive momentum in areas such as community outreach, benchmarking and outreach with other municipalities, the assessment of current housing inventory and challenges , collaboration with local , regional and state level resources should continue to be pursued in fiscal 2019 through continued funding of the Housing Coordinator position . Further, the Town of Brewster Visioning Advisory Group has identified Housing as a key area of concern within the community . The October 2017 Visioning Summary Paper captures the current status, issues, opportunities, and goals for Housing in our community , We see the Housing Coordinator as an integral component of advancing the issues and opportunities as detailed by Visioning initiative as well as the Housing Production Plan .

Project Description : Describe the proposed project . Is this part of a larger project or an ongoing project? As per the Brewster Housing Production Plan, Strategy 12 : Create a Housing Coordinator position. Positioning Brewster to build its housing supply in the myriad of ways discussed in this plan requires resources , including time and money . The Town has staff and volunteers dedicated to housing and many partners who are committed to meeting housing needs and demand, but there needs to be a central ` point person" with both the authority and resources to work on housing policy and housing strategies in Brewster . Like other towns in Massachusetts that are trying to tackle complex housing policy concerns , Brewster would benefit from having a professional on staff to coordinate affordable housing education and policy, work with developers and neighborhoods , monitor affordable housing restrictions, and advise Town boards about potential opportunities to increase the supply of affordable housing . Possibly such a position could be funded full-time to serve a group of Cape Cod towns . Funding for this position is an allowable use of Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds . This is part of an ongoing and larger project to implement the Goals of the Brewster Housing Production plan. 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 .

As the liaison, the Housing Coordinator is tasked with working with abutters and the Town to ensure the housing provided is harmonious in design and scale with the surrounding neighborhood. The Housing Coordinator is working on a plan to make sure Fair Housing Marketing is being performed in all of our programs which promotes a socioeconomic environment that encourages diversity. The Housing Coordinator has recently completed an inventory of all of the Town ' s affordable stock and is using this information to ensure long-term affordability of all units is preserved . The Housing Coordinator has recently begun research on Town- owned sites that may be used for affordable development. The Housing Coordinator has reached out to surrounding Towns who run programs which convert market rate to public subsidized units to see if Brewster can duplicate these efforts . The Housing Coordinator is assisting in the establishment of a Brewster Municipal ill help to create an appropriate mix of rental and ownership housing, give priority to Housing Trust which w local residents, town employees, employees of local businesses as allowed by law. Please see the attached Job Description as well as two reports of ongoing work/projects that support both the CPC Community Housing criteria and the General Criteria of boosting the vitality of the Town through the creation and preservation of more housing stock which will also enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents . The work of the Housing Coordinator will help to save affordable housing resources that would otherwise be threatened . The Coordinator will help to serve a currently under-served Town population, residents needing affordable housing . In the short time that the position has been filled, a positive cost/benefit relationship has been achieved as having one person dedicated to housing has accomplished more than scattered staff working on housing in the last few years has been able to accomplish which helps to preserve, enhance and better utilize existing Town resources .

Community Support : What is the nature and level of support for this project? Include letters of support and any petitions . As noted above, the creation of this position was supported and voted for by May 2017 Town meeting, the Board of Select Board, the Brewster Housing Partnership, the CPC and the Finance Committee as well as the voters at Town Meeting. Additionally, the Brewster Housing Production Plan which was accepted by both the Select Board and the Planning Board included a recommendation to have a part-time Housing Coordinator. Furthermore, through two workshops of the Brewster Visioning Process, allotting resources to Housing issues has come forward as one of the major concerns and focuses of the residents of Brewster . 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?
