Affordable Housing Trust

The Open Meeting Law requires public bodies to create and approve minutes in a timely manner. A “timely manner” is considered to be within the next three public body meetings or 30 days from the date of the meeting, whichever is later, unless the public body can show good cause for further delay. The Attorney General encourages minutes to be approved at a public body’s next meeting whenever possible. The law requires that existing minutes be made available to the public within ten days of a request, whether they have been approved or remain in draft form. Materials or other exhibits used by the public body in an open meeting must also be made available to the public within ten days of a request. 

The Norfolk Municipal Affordable Housing Trust is a 7 member board established in the Town of Norfolk in 2006 in accordance with the State of Massachusetts G.L.c.44 s. 55C It is made up of  6 members appointed by the Select Board.  The 7th member can be either the Town Administrator or a Select Board Representative.

The purpose of the NMAHT is to provide for the preservation and creation of affordable and community housing in the Town of Norfolk specifically for low and moderate income households.  In this effort, the goal of the Trust is to reach the state of Massachusetts requirement that 10% of the dwellings be affordable.
