Title
Westbrook Housing Presentation - Affordable and Senior Housing.
In January, the Council discussed having Westbrook Development Corporation and Westbrook Housing hold listening sessions for “Windham Affordable and Senior Housing.” Those sessions were held in February and March prior to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
The attached summary represents the findings along with our comprehensive plan and demographic information. Should the Council determine next steps are necessary, staff is recommending these items be considered for the workshop discussion:
1. Identify market cost housing for Windham in several categories;
2. Learn and examine options to fund various housing opportunities ranging from work force, affordable and senior housing, and how our demographics indicate the level of need.
3. Identify location options by zoning, transportation, walkability and other pertinent factors.
