Southold to Host Forum on Affordable Housing
In the wake of public opposition to variations on a plan for affordable housing in Mattituck, a dearth of proposed affordable housing projects, and a sluggish start to the town’s provisions allowing for affordable accessory apartments, Southold Town’s Housing Advisory Commission is hosting a public forum this Thursday, Oct. 22, to explain the town’s housing needs and offer resources to people who need to find affordable housing.
According to the Commission, “despite ongoing discussion about “affordable housing and” whether it is needed or not, few residents understand what it is and who it serves.”
The Housing Advisory Commission members plan to discuss the history of affordable housing in Southold, who benefits from the provision of affordable housing, town policies and codes, and to help members of households are in need of housing assistance learn about the process and availability of affordable housing inventory in Southold.
The Commission will also provide a list of housing resources.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct.22 at 6 p.m. in the main meeting room at Town Hall, 53095 Route 25 in Southold.
