Chloe Washington, speaking for the group, said the project is a civics assignment about housing and that many of the studentsteachers and coaches have had to move or lack secure housing because of local prices. \"A lot of our teachers and coaches have had to move or couldn't be, like, secure housing because...they couldn't find secure housing because of the prices,\" she said.

Trust members described local organizations and programs the students could explore, including Housing Nantucket, Habitat for Humanity's Wade Drive homeownership lottery (applications due June 16) and a rental lottery with applications due June 23. Meg Bowers pointed the students toward Nantucket Education Trust, the nonprofit that oversees staff housing behind the schools, and offered additional contacts.

Chair Brian Sullivan and staff offered to visit the students' class and provide a follow-up in-person session after school lets out. The Trust did not take action on the visit; members treated it as community engagement and provided contact suggestions and encouragement for the students' civics project.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Affordable Housing Trust Open Session - 6/3/2025","oneSentenceSummary","An eighth-grade civics group visited the Affordable Housing Trust on June 3 to discuss how housing affordability affects teachers, coaches and community members; Trust members pointed to local housing programs and offered to meet with the students again.","taxTitle","Nantucket County, Massachusetts","taxId",61456,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6215903,"Trust approves extension of parking license at 16 Vesper Lane for Nantucket Cottage Hospital through Oct. 31",161,520000,681000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3655825-58ac5d02f2d6e599d225f9fdbb91a23d&start=520&end=681","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3655825-58ac5d02f2d6e599d225f9fdbb91a23d/thumbnail_520000.jpg","/articles/6215903/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Trust-approves-extension-of-parking-license-at-16-Vesper-Lane-for-Nantucket-Cottage-Hospital-through-Oct-31","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215903-84026cd700bbeac745ccd8636e0b5a1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775183263&Signature=JZeqcHz6V~lKBgFvNVuQIWS8JJd2SQAvJyI8OypdIoxz3LefmwZKOZR5sdmAHX0zG9WwFTEYf7-9H41VUEawFmMw-Njqz2hyjPFI54sJWGg8VKcnbBpPx1cxnTwLUpMbZOhJa6CwbnJW9wga5JkUfOKcbfYjZwDUc3fQHoPG7xO-8fv8dXvCzjNt3lhAJIEORc2BbNX6itWRKozuNDqS8lH37~h5P18Wg3GhitxOGOOvF9KBFJPtcR5qaroystJTry0bxhgq68trgI-~Pm~42GLcT09f881uZk9MxS5mFJ4ovJGheCui-r1WHMCFtIsM6fl3~2RZnd7cx6Z9qrB~kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 3 meeting the Affordable Housing Trust voted to permit an extension of a license allowing Nantucket Cottage Hospital to use Trust land at 16 Vesper Lane as overflow staff parking through Oct. 31.

Christy Ferantella explained the request mirrors a similar arrangement approved last year and that the Trusts recommended license would run through Oct. 31. She told members the parcel is currently under review in a request-for-proposals process for development and that the draft license must preserve the Trusts and any eventual developers right to access the site; Ferantella said the hospital had agreed to that condition.

A motion to follow the housing office recommendation to approve the license extension was made by Meg Bowers and seconded by Abby De Molina. The roll-call vote recorded ayes from Brooke Moore, Meg Bowers, Penny Dye, Abby De Molina, Chantal Murphy and Brian Sullivan; the motion carried.

Christy Ferantella said she would work with Vicky Marsh to draft the license language and obtain town counsels approval for execution.

Christy Ferantella, housing office staff, explained the application is processed through the qualified family-member covenant creation and that for the initial purchase the buyers were not subject to the programs income or asset purchase limits but they did qualify through Housing Nantucket. She said the deed restriction would take effect upon resale and that the family had otherwise been income-qualified through the housing office.

Penny Dye moved to approve closing-cost assistance for Grace Antonovich and Patrick OToole, with any excess funds repaid upon closing; Brooke Moore seconded. A roll-call vote recorded aye votes from Brooke Moore, Meg Bowers, Penny Dye, Abby De Molina, Shanta Murphy and Chair Brian Sullivan; the motion carried.

Trust members briefly discussed whether the application form should include a checkbox identifying a qualified family-member relationship. Christy Ferantella and a Trust member said the covenant status is included elsewhere in the application materials and that adding a checkbox was unnecessary and could raise fair-housing concerns.

No further conditions beyond the repayment-on-closing note were recorded on the motion.

The loan had financed seven homes, six restricted at 80% area median income (AMI) and one restricted at 175% AMI, Burek said.

The repayment “was repaid in full on 05/12/2025,” Burek said. He said the six 80% AMI homes sold at $284,000 each; the single 175% AMI unit sold at $781,000. Burek also noted that under current HUD AMI numbers the comparable maximum sale prices would now be roughly $360,000 for an 80% unit and $871,000 for a 175% unit.

Burek described multiple rental and conversion projects funded or supported with Trust dollars. He said a $5,000,000 grant helped complete phases 5 and 6 of Meadows (Gooseberry Place acceleration), producing 55 rental units, of which 27 are income-restricted at various AMI levels. That deal included a 10-unit master lease to the town. A separate $3,725,000 grant is supporting conversion of seven formerly market-rate units at Meadows 1 (Chicory Place) to 80% AMI units; Burek said those units are being renovated and are being advertised now, with a lottery scheduled for July 8.

Burek summarized lottery demand and wait-list data across projects. For the seven-home Sandpiper sale lottery in 2023 he said there were 39 gross applications and 71 households found wait-list eligible across unit types; the 80% homes saw about a 9-to-1 ratio of qualified households to available unit. For Gooseberry phase lotteries he reported roughly 60 gross applications for an initial set of 15 80% units (about 8.3 net eligible to 1 available unit) and similar elevated demand for subsequent phases; many lotteries showed local preference of more than 80%.

Burek also listed advertised maximum rents for the Meadows 1 conversions: $1,009.27 for a studio, $2,001.97 for a one-bedroom and $2,004.37 for a two-bedroom unit. He said most rental units from the recent phases are leased; two 20% AMI units (one studio, one one-bedroom) remained vacant but he expected they would fill from existing wait lists.

Trust members asked about household-size demand; Burek said leasing staff report one-bedroom demand has grown and is highest across many income categories. Christy Ferantella, staff, and Brian Sullivan, chair, thanked Burek and Richmond for the updates; Burek agreed to provide written summary notes to the Trust office.

Burek concluded that, combining the recent transactions, Richmond’s work resulted in 83 total SHI-eligible units and 34 additional units with affordability restrictions (24 at 80% AMI and 10 at 20% AMI for rentals), representing roughly 41% of the units involved having some affordability characteristic.

Trust members did not take formal votes on the status report; the presentation was an informational update and Burek was asked to provide written materials to the Trust office.","At the June 3 Affordable Housing Trust meeting, Richmond Development representative Andrew Burek reported repayment of a $3.1 million loan and summarized recent sales, lotteries and conversions that added 83 total SHI-eligible units and 27 income-restricted rental units to the island inventory.","actionData","errors"]
