Affordable Housing Trust Fund · Meeting of May 27, 2026
Ashland Affordable Housing Trust outlines plans for Olive Street affordable housing development. The trust reviewed conceptual designs for four to six affordable homes, with Trustee Steve Greenberg volunteering to work with Assistant Town Manager Beth Reynolds on a formal request for proposals. ConCom Agent Becca Solomon discussed wetlands determinations valid through February 2029, stormwater management, and property access via a ground-level bridge across a stream.
Trustees estimated that prospective homebuyers could secure mortgages of approximately $300,000, with the trust contributing roughly $200,000 per unit to homes targeted at 30 to 60 percent area median income affordability.
