Gov Baker awards 10 low-income housing vouchers for use by homeless at Amherst Supportive Studio apartments

Gov. Baker awards 10 low-income housing vouchers for use by homeless at Amherst Supportive Studio apartments Updated 12:38 PM; AMHERST – Persistent affordable housing shortages in town have not been solved, but it is widely recognized as a problem and efforts have been underway to address it. Gov. Charlie Baker on Wednesday announced that the state will provide ten housing subsidies/vouchers, for homeless individuals, to live at the 28-unit building being built along Route 9, at 132 Northampton Road, called Amherst Supportive Studio apartments. Northampton-based Valley Community Development Corporation is leading the effort, which was approved in November by Amherst Zoning Board of Appeals.

Amherst affordable housing plan for Belchertown Road construction requires waiving municipal zoning rules

Amherst affordable housing plan for Belchertown Road construction requires waiving municipal zoning rules Updated Dec 22, 2020; AMHERST – A plan to construct a three-story building with 35 to 40 affordable housing units on land the town hopes to purchase for $825,000 on Belchertown Road along Route 9 would require waiving municipal zoning rules, officials disclosed at Monday’s Town Council meeting. Town officials said the site is zoned neighborhood residential. Since the density of 40 apartments in one building exceeds density for this zone, and thus does not meet zoning rules for the proposed project, the option is to use Chapter 40B, of state law, that would permit the apartment building, the officials said.
