Select Board pauses decision on Dennis Housing Authority CPC grant language, seeks CPC amendment to avoid unused funds reverting

Apr 7, 2026

The board discussed a Dennis Housing Authority request that Community Preservation Act (CPC) grant language be amended so remaining funds (about $84,000) can be used for rolling rental assistance enrollment; the board asked CPC to draft language and agreed to continue the matter for CPC review.

The full story

The Dennis Select Board heard from Regina White of the Dennis Housing Authority and from members of the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) about a requested change to the Housing Authority's CPC grant. The Housing Authority asked to avoid a hard December 31, 2028 end date that would force an estimated $84,000 to revert unused to the CPC while people remain on a waiting list for rental assistance.
