Select Board agrees to join regional Housing Opportunity Program grant application
Summary
The board authorized including Harrison in a regional Housing Opportunity Program application to produce a housing needs assessment; results likely arrive in January–February and may inform the comp-plan revisions.
The Select Board voted to include Harrison in a regional application for the state Housing Opportunity Program's needs-assessment grant. Staff said the work would be done by GP COG as part of a regional package and that deliverables would likely be available in January or February, potentially informing the town's comprehensive-plan revisions.
A board member moved to authorize the application; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Staff noted the grant would provide statistical analysis rather than a physical housing inventory; volunteers and local residents may be asked to support on-the-ground condition assessments if the town wants a more detailed physical inventory.
Why this matters: town officials described the grant as a step toward data-driven housing policy and said it could provide a clearer picture of housing need and condition to guide future comp-plan chapters and budget requests.
