Local Initiative aims to create housing unit for families through tech funding

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund Communications Subcommittee met on March 27, 2025, to discuss ongoing initiatives aimed at improving local housing options in Nantucket. A key focus of the meeting was the 66 Boat Check project, which is designed to create housing units for families employed by local businesses. This initiative is funded by the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and aims to address the pressing need for affordable housing in the area.

During the discussion, members emphasized the importance of ensuring that any information shared about the project is accurate and up-to-date. There was a consensus to gather more details before making any public announcements. One member noted that a press release had already been issued by the Housing and Electric departments, indicating that the project is indeed public knowledge. However, they acknowledged the need to verify the specifics before proceeding.

The subcommittee agreed to compile the necessary information and check in with relevant parties to ensure that all communications are clear and correct. This proactive approach reflects the subcommittee's commitment to transparency and effective communication regarding affordable housing initiatives in Nantucket.

As the subcommittee continues to work on this project, the focus remains on providing suitable housing solutions for local families, highlighting the ongoing efforts to tackle the housing crisis in the community. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
