A Comprehensive Permit <br /> under M.G.L. c.40B was obtained, and appreciation was given to the Zoning Board of Appeals for <br /> facilitating the process. <br /> To comply with the concerns of the abutter's buffers and additional sidewalks and crosswalks have been <br /> installed. <br /> The HAC/POAH team is now focused on securing all necessary funding for construction. An application <br /> was submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Housing& Community Development(DHCD) seeking <br /> an allocation of Low-income Housing Tax Credits,Project-Based Vouchers for(8) units and a mix of state <br /> affordable housing"soft"money sources to support capital costs and ongoing operations. Unfortunately, <br /> funding was not received. <br /> It is anticipated that HAC/POAH would re-apply for grant funds in September. Local funds are critical to <br /> provide assistance to leverage the project to qualify for funding and to move the project forward. <br /> An application will also be submitted to the Barnstable County HOME Consortium for funding. It was <br /> agreed the Town of Mashpee would communicate its support of this project to the Assembly of Delegates. <br /> If there is a fall back,the number of planned units would not decrease. To ensure the success of this <br /> project, additional state funding sources would hopefully be identified to meet obligations. <br />
