Director Shachter gave a presentation on the Municipal Voucher Program and FLEX-ARPA. She spoke about the lack of deeply affordable units, lack of access to immigrants, demonstration of need, inadequate existing solutions and said that the program is free from state and federal regulations. The voucher program is intended to be available for the long haul, prioritizing families ineligible for federal housing due to immigration status. Approximately 30-35 families would be helped yearly. Director Shachter reviewed the qualifications for participation in the program, saying that the vouchers may be project-based or tenant-based. Since the program is not subject to state or federal regulations, the city can design it as needed with some flexibility.

The FLEX-ARPA would be administered by the Somerville Homeless Coalition and CAAS and may be used for anything the team believes is needed to promote housing stability.
