Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Last Chance to Register - Cohousing Affordability

[Barbara Smith (brownsmith82]

 I don't know if anyone has contacted you from Hager Homestead, now ready to 
break ground in Littleton, MA. The local planning board required us to make 40% 
of our units affordable (at various levels, from 60% of HUD's Average Mean 
Income for the region to 150% of AMI.) We had  wanted some affordable units but 
the 40% exceeded anything in Massachusetts that was built without subsidies 
from the state or federal government. So the homeowners footed the bill. It has 
been a wrenching process...which is why I'm not sure I recommend it as an 
example for your event. The cost of the units is just crushing. Anyway -- we 
are providing affordable units, but I'm not sure I could recommend it.Have a 
good event tomorrowBarbara
