,�yrxrasr�.a <br /> Town of Mashpee Community Preservation Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee,MA 02649 <br /> MASHPEE HOUSING AUTHORITY HOMEYER VILLAGE <br /> The Executive Director of the Mashpee Housing Authority, Kimberly Conn, appeared before the <br /> Committee to present a request for $222,565 in CPC funding to support exterior rehabilitation work at <br /> Homeyer Village, a 24-unit senior housing complex serving low- and moderate-income senior residents. <br /> Ms. Conn explained that the project addresses the aging condition of the buildings and focuses on <br /> building envelope improvements, including replacement of deteriorated siding, windows, and exterior <br /> doors, to improve energy efficiency, weather resistance, long-term durability, and resident safety and <br /> comfort. <br /> The total cost of the project was described as approximately $1.1 million, with the majority of funding <br /> anticipated from state public housing programs administered through Executive Office of Housing and <br /> Livable Communities (HLC). The CPC request represents the required local contribution needed to <br /> leverage the state funding. Ms. Conn also noted that the Housing Authority is coordinating this work <br /> with a separate state-funded roof replacement project, emphasizing that proper sequencing of roof and <br /> exterior work is critical to ensure the effectiveness of the overall building envelope. <br /> Committee members asked questions regarding proposed materials, durability, fire safety standards, and <br /> the anticipated construction timeline. Members also inquired whether state approvals, funding <br /> commitments, or bid processes could delay the project and how such delays might affect coordination <br /> with the roof replacement. Ms. Conn responded that material selections would be guided by durability, <br /> safety, energy performance, and code compliance, and that the Mashpee Housing Authority is working <br /> closely with state agencies to secure approvals and funding. While acknowledging that state processes <br /> can affect timing, she indicated that the project is positioned to move forward once approvals are in <br /> place and that construction would be coordinated to minimize disruption to residents. <br /> The Committee acknowledged receipt of letters of support from the Affordable Housing Committee and <br /> Mashpee Commons, emphasizing the importance of preserving quality housing for senior residents. <br /> Members stressed the importance of ongoing communication and updates, particularly regarding state <br /> funding status, approvals, bid results, and any changes to scope or schedule. Ms. Conn agreed to keep <br /> the Committee informed as the project progresses. <br /> The Committee concluded that the project presents an important opportunity to leverage CPC funds to <br /> preserve and improve existing affordable housing for seniors, while reiterating the need for continued <br /> transparency and coordination as the work advances. <br /> 11»HU,,N, <br /> 4 <br />
