Determine next steps and responsibilities.~
The Stow Municipal Affordable Housing Trust has completed work on a Housing Production Plan for Stow.~ This Town of Stow Housing Production Plan (HPP) offers an updated and expanded version of the Housing Plan that was completed in 2002 under the state’s Executive Order 418, which was approved by the state, but expired in December 2008.~
~
An HPP is a community's proactive strategy for planning and developing affordable housing.~ This Plan suggests a range of options to meet pressing local housing needs, as identified in its Housing Needs Assessment, and enables Stow to come closer to meeting the state 10% affordable housing threshold by presenting a proactive housing agenda of town-sponsored initiatives.
