Affordable Housing Strategy and Development Action Plan
Adoption of Affordable Housing, Strategy and Development Action Plan:

A Town’s housing stock is a primary element fundamental to defining a community; it is where the citizens that make-up the heart of each neighborhood reside.  The quality and affordability of, as well as the accessibility to housing in a town are often factors that will determine where a person chooses to live. Analyzing historic housing data, current housing trends and projecting future housing needs is a way for a community to plan for the housing needs of its residents.  By proactively planning through the development of an Affordable Housing Strategy and Development Action Plan, Franklin can assure that the housing needs of its residents are met for all income and ability levels of the community.  The Town of Franklin’s Affordable Housing, Strategy and Development Action Plan was created as an update of the Housing Element of Franklin’s Community Development Plan “Affordable Housing Strategy and Development Action Plan” of 2004.
