Affordable Housing Board of Trustees

About

The Affordable Housing Board of Trustees was established to provide for the creation and preservation of affordable housing for the benefit of low- and moderate-income households in Merrimac.  It is the goal of the Board to increase the availability of housing in Merrimac that meets the state standard for affordability while retaining the nature of our community.

The Board of Trustees is to be composed of five to seven members including a representative from the Select Board.  Through the years, the Board has sought input from Merrimac residents and worked with consultants to draft the five-year Housing Production Plans for affordable housing that effectively serves Merrimac residents.  Below is a link to the 2018-2023 Housing Production Plan approved by the state Department of Housing and Community Development.
