I am at the Ash is <br /> Path site three out of fire days. <br /> BREEZY ACRES EXPANSION: The Authority is moving forward on the expansion of <br /> Breezy Acres. The DHD has committed funding to develop two two-bedroom apartments for <br /> family housing as well as a second building for special needs clients up to 5 bedrooms), in <br /> conjunction with the $450,000 we were awarded last year in Community Preservation funds.. <br /> Recently the housing authority was awarded a grant by Mass Housing Partnership to have a <br /> consultant look at the property to see if it would be financially feasible to develop more housing <br /> on the property, and install a_septic treatment facility on the site. This work is slaktd to begin <br /> in the summer of-2008. We are holding off on starting the other two buildings, pending the <br /> outcome of the consultant's study. <br /> HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:AM: Our first two applications to the CPA (Community <br /> Preservation Act) for funding for this three-phase project was not funded. I have resubmitted <br /> Phase I, which i's for a housing authority-based rental assistance program and I will been <br /> meeting with the CPA committee about this application. We are hoping that it will be funded in <br /> the net round. <br /> Closin remarks <br /> It has truly been a very challenging, yet productive year. It is so great to see our Ash is Path <br /> Apartments project come to fruition., This was the housing authority's first development in 1 <br /> years. I look forward to continuing to train for and learn the Low Income Housing Tax credit <br /> Program. I am committed to continuing to try to further develop our Breezy Acres site and to <br /> try to start tip new programs through CPA (Community Preservation Act) funding. It is trey <br /> hope that the town will see the great value in our proposed program and fund it this year. <br /> }; <br /> h <br /> I see a lot of positive things happening at the Mashpee Housing Authority and I am proud of . <br /> what we've been able to accomplish, especially during such a personally challenging year. As . <br /> things get busier, and more development starts we will need to look at extending our staff t <br /> help with the growing workload. <br /> I would like to express ray gratitude to the board for your support, flexibility, and <br /> encouragement and I enthusiastically look forward to more accomplishments in the corning <br /> year. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> /S/ <br /> Leila Botsford, PHM <br /> Executive Director <br /> i <br />
