Non-Action Items 1) Presentation by Open Daniel Werwath, housing consultant on the city’s current study of
regulations and policies related to affordable housing.
Mr. Werwath described the goals and process for the study, and discussed data collection to date,
including high points of building and subdivision activity, noting the rebound since the Affordable Housing Action Plan was completed in 2012. He noted that home sales over the past two years have
shifted significantly with home sales predominantly for units priced over $250,000.
Discussion followed with concerns raised about whether another study is useful, new ideas are needed,
how there is not just one answer to the problem and alternative solutions are needed.
2) MBOH 2015 Housing Tax Credit Allocations
It was suggested that the QAP process be scheduled on a future CAHAB agenda.
FYI/Discussion Mary Martin requested that CAHAB members come to the January meeting with recommendations for
the threshold for home ownership - % AMI.
