Review of Judi Barrett’s report on Affordable Housing Buy-Down Assistance <br />The question that Ms. Barrett was asked to investigate is: if the community wanted to create some <br />affordable housing opportunities working with existing housing stock, in particular, single family <br />homes through a purchase buy-down program, what would that program look like? The results of <br />her research to answer this question are contained in the report entitled Lexington Housing <br />Partnership Affordable Housing Buy-Down Assistance for Moderate- And Middle-Income <br />Homebuyers: Models, Issues and Recommendations. <br />There was significant discussion about the report, its recommendations and next steps. The <br />Partnership did not reach consensus on whether to accept the report or to recommend it Town <br />Meeting in its current form. Ms. Barrett was asked to make some modifications to the report and re- <br />send it to the Partnership for further review. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:11 p.m. <br />
