Affordable Housing Trust Chairperson Lisa Lopez and Select Board Vice Chairperson Trisha Boyden presented Canton's Subsidized Housing Inventory, which exceeds the 10 percent state threshold at 12 percent, and discussed the AHT's plan to fund regulatory compliance costs for developers through forgivable loans from the Affordable Housing Production Fund; if approved at Town Meeting, a $100,000 FY27 grant would bring the fund to over $500,000 for future projects.
