Acushnet Housing Authority Explores New Senior Housing Development Opportunities
- Meeting Overview:
The Acushnet Housing Authority meeting focused on exploring potential expansion opportunities for senior housing through the Dartmouth Housing Partnership. Discussions included utilizing grant funding from the state of Massachusetts, available from May 1st to June 1st, to conduct feasibility studies and architectural plans for potential construction on existing land owned by the authority. The initial aim is to add approximately 10 units, with priority for Acushnet residents, though these details are subject to further verification and study.
The meeting also addressed a billing issue with Service Master for an apartment cleanup, with the board agreeing to defer payment until a discounted price is confirmed. In staffing updates, the board introduced a new office member, Jean, who will assume responsibilities previously held by Nancy. Nancy will transition to an assistant role while maintaining her duties as the resident service coordinator.
Additionally, the authority discussed ongoing maintenance projects, including the installation of walk-in showers in ground-floor apartments with grant funding aimed at aging-in-place modifications. The authority plans to continue these upgrades as units are vacated and turned over.
