Specifically, the Plan's goals are: - To ensure our community's residents are successful in attaining long-term safe and energy efficient housing - To ensure that the residents residing in deed restricted housing are active year-round members of our community - To build an additional 75 units of housing in the next 5-7 years and to achieve deed restrictions that required occupancy by year-round residents on 30% of the Town's housing stock by 2023 - Foster public/private partnerships to build homes for rent and ownership - Provide 15 units for Town Employees (the Town currently owns 11 units and anticipates that it would purchase three of the for-sale units that are included in the scope of this RFP) - Work on regional collaboration for future housing projects The Town is issuing this request for proposals to build approximately 35-45 apartments for rent, and 28-32 units for homeownership.
