Affordable housing comments on Patch

I would ask Mr. Hurd what he and Anne Thompson have been doing on the board..as she stated that they had not met for over a year. What is the point of this board anyway?

========================

Concerned,
Mr. Hurd only recently took over as the director of the Medfield Housing Authority, and its current board is also quite new, so they should not be criticized. They administer Tilden Village. The town’s Affordable Housing Committee has been administering the rest of the town’s currently existing housing, and they are the ones who only meet when there is an issue related to that existing housing, because the town has had no plans to build more affordable housing since Allendale was built about 15 years ago. The town now needs to start a process of developing a plan about what to do with respect to affordable housing, and that is what is in the process of changing at this time. Hopefully, the newly constituted Medfield Housing Authority, the Affordable Housing Committee, and the new voices we are hearing will all be part of that new discussion. Mr Hurd has already said he wants to be.
