Mission Statement: “To promote the production and preservation of balanced housing resources that address the unmet needs of the Town of Barnstable”

The Housing Committee facilitates the development of and equal access to affordable housing. The Committee also serves as the Town’s Local Housing Partnership. In this role, and in conjunction with the Town Manager, the Committee reviews and makes recommendations on housing proposals that are seeking local support under the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD)’s Local Initiative Program (LIP).

The Committee advises the Town Manager and Town Council regarding policies and programs aimed at reaching the Town’s goal of making a minimum of 10% of its housing stock affordable in perpetuity. The Committee meets with the Town Council to advise the Councilors of issues pertaining to affordable housing and to discuss policies to effectuate fair and affordable housing in the Town.

In addition, Committee members actively participate with the Zoning Board of Appeals in the review of Chapter 40B Comprehensive Permit proposals (the state statute which allows the waiver of local regulations to build affordable housing). As such, applicants are encouraged to meet with the BHC in the early stages of the development of any affordable housing proposal.

The committee has also recently taken on the role of approving affordable housing units created through the Town’s Inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance (Chapter 9, Article I of the Town Code), and monitoring the long term affordability of the units.

The Special Projects Coordinator, Affordable Housing provides staff support to the Committee.
