Essex, through the Board of Selectmen and the Essex Housing Coalition (which is supported by the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association - CHAPA) is exploring the possibility of establishing a municipal affordable housing trust fund. Please join us in a remote forum on December 6, 2021 from 6:30-8 p.m. You will learn what a housing trust fund is, how the fund functions and is managed, and the types of activities a trust can engage in. Examples from other Massachusetts communities will also be shared. The forum will be led by personnel from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP).
