Hundreds of people packed a ballroom in Hyannis yesterday for the launch of a new public policy campaign called Housing to Protect Cape Cod.
Led by the Housing Assistance Corporation, the campaign is calling for zoning changes to allow smaller housing units, built closer together, so more people can afford to stay on Cape Cod.
Alisa Magnotta, CEO of the Housing Assistance Corporation, said the Cape needs more accessory dwelling units, apartments over stores and offices, and new developments that match the context of the neighborhood.
“I'm hoping that from this point forward, we will all commit to getting involved, understanding the implications of the zoning we have and the implications of the zoning that we need,” she said. “Today is the day of action.”
Consultant Tim Cornwell of The Concord Group presented the results of a new study commissioned by the Housing Assistance Corporation of Cape Cod’s housing market and the benefits of housing development.
