The target goal 'i' s to have 10% of the total year round housing be subsidized. EOCD and CCC look at number of units ( ro ` ects ) subsidized which for Mashpee is 175 units (under 5 of Mashpee' s Housing)-. certificates which are tenant used are not counted which if they were would bring the figure u to 7%; Mashpee could change the language to count subsidies, Ms . Fames further stated that real needs are a consideration suggesting that roan.. condos could be made "affordable" with � � " low-interest additional assistance using certificates and a low i rate program. (At present EOCD nor the cCC count tenant subsidies . ) The options for Mashpee to consider are: To expand with existing new buildings , do conversions{ or build new units,. Mr. Halzarini asked if mashpee will benefit by meeting the 10% standard, and Mr. Fudala stated that our aid and grants are dependent upon making efforts in this area. Ms . caf f n suggested including traitor parks and other existing affordable housing into the 10% standard. Ms. Greelish feels that the data is flawed and should not be in any policy until ccc uses more accurate data; the figures are ]used on 1990 census numbers . She further suggested making it easier to build granny flats , etc. , and avoid public subsidy. Ms. Greelish asked to read the Report, and Mr. Fuda la offered his copy. s carnes concluded her presentation stating the 10 ficju.re and ashpee ' s real needs should determine its policy, and Mashpee can devise policies to fit Mashpee only. -2-
