Montpelier Housing Task Force

The Montpelier Housing Task Force was organized in 1999 in order to (1) gather and evaluate information regarding housing trends in the City, (2) to develop responses to housing concerns that are identified, and (3) to recommend housing policies to City Government. The Task Force has these basic purposes:
Montpelier is experiencing the loss of residential opportunities and the lack of safe, decent and affordable housing. We seek to preserve and enhance residential opportunities in Montpelier for households of all income levels. Working with community residents, City staff and elected officials, landlords, financial institutions and community organizations we will:
  1. inventory existing housing stock and document changes in supply and demand in the city, keeping in mind that office and retail space is limited as well.
  2. gain a better understanding of the complex issues affecting the quantity and quality of the city's housing.
  3. recommend activities to increase housing in the city;
  4. recommend strategies that protect against the loss of housing in the city; and
  5. increase the public's participation in city housing issues.
MEETINGS

The Montpelier Housing Task Force meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month from September to June, Police Department Conference Room, 5:15 to 7 PM. Agendas and Minutes are posted on the City of Montpelier webpage. All meetings are open to the public.
