Affordable Housing Growth & Development Trust Fund Board 06-15-2026

The Affordable Housing Growth & Development Trust Fund Board met on June 15, 2026, to discuss several procurement-related topics including the expiration of funding offers and awards, rent increase requests, and project-based vouchers. The board considered implementing a two-year expiration term for funding commitments, to be included as a condition in commitment letters rather than changing existing rules. They reviewed the internal process for rent increase requests tied to HUD guidelines and noted no current requests pending. The board also received an update on project-based vouchers, with the Barnstable Housing Authority currently advised not to pursue additional vouchers due to federal guidance, though the board remains open to future proposals. Additionally, the board discussed planning a workshop to strategize priorities, funding sources, and evaluation criteria for the trust fund, aiming for a session in July or August. Minor comments on a commitment letter for the Wind Properties case were noted, with legal review pending. The meeting concluded with approval of minutes and scheduling considerations for future meetings.
