DHCD Places Town’s Affordable Housing at 9.62%

The Department of Housing and Community Development’s July 8, 2020 letter says the town’s affordable housing units, including that 56 units at Aura, are now at 9.62%. The town was given two more years of safe harbor from unfriendly 40B’s as a result, through May 7, 2022. Based on these figures, we need about 16 more units to get over the 10% threshold, however, that number will go up once we have the new number of residents in town based on the 2020 census.

July 9, 2020 Mr. Osler L. Peterson Chairman, Select Board Town of Medfield 459 Main Street I Town Hall Medfield, MA 02052 Dear Mr. Peterson: Commonwealth of Massachusetts DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Charles D. Baker, Governor + Karyn E. Polito, Lt Governor + Jennifer Maddox, Undersecretary The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has reviewed the Town of Medfield's May 7, 2020 (received electronically on June 25, 2020), request for certification of compliance with its Housing Production Plan (HPP). DHCD makes the following findings: 1. Medfield has an HPP which is valid from October 19, 2016 to October 18, 2021. 2. The project for which certification is requested is Auro at Medfield (Subsidized Housing Inventory SHI ID # 10461). 3. The 56 units constitute enough units for a two-year certification period (42 units). 4. The housing development is consistent with the production goals outlined m Medfield's Housing Production Plan. This certification is effective for a two-year period beginning on May 8, 2020 to May 7, 2022. Please note that all units must retain eligibility for the SHI for the entire certification period. If units are no longer eligible for inclusion on the SHI, they will be removed and will no longer be eligible for certification. This action may affect the term of your certification. I have included an updated list of SHI eligible units. Medfield's current SHI stands at 9.62%.
