Sudbury Housing Trust Looking For New Members

SUDBURY, MA — Sudbury is looking for residents who want a foot in the door in local government to apply to the town's Housing Trust. The Sudbury Housing Trust was formed in 2006 and tries to increase affordable and community housing. The trust has powers and duties that enable it to accomplish these objectives.

The Trust is composed of up to nine trustees appointed for three-year terms. In making the appointments, the Board of Selectmen will appoint people from a range of backgrounds including legal, banking, financial, and real estate professionals; non-profit and for-profit housing developers; affordable housing advocates; and other members of the local business community.

Trustees are expected to prepare for and attend monthly meetings, and to actively participate. The trust is supported through technical and administrative staff from the Planning and Community Development Department.

If you're thinking of applying, you can pick up a Volunteer Application. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. All members are required to be appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
