HADLEY A rental assistance program to help families and individuals financially impacted by the pandemic will be established using money from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
The Affordable Housing Trust, at its initial meeting Tuesday, voted 6-1 to approve using $50,000 from the account to establish the COVID relief fund.
“What we’re trying to do is show that we’re a town with compassion,” said Planning Board member Mark Dunn, who is also a member of the trust committee. “We want to try and keep people who wanted to be here but COVID changed their circumstances.”
