The City Council is recommending the creation of an official City Housing Committee. The mission of the City Housing Committee (CHC) will be to:
- consult with a wide range of housing experts
- collaborate with appropriate state, regional, and Montpelier city government entities
- engage with individuals and organizations of under-represented groups whose housing may be impacted by existing or proposed housing-related policies and procedures
- engage and collaborate with other city committees, as appropriate including but not limited to the Homelessness Task Force, the Planning Commission, and the Energy Advisory Committee
- engage with a variety of parties with an interest in housing including but not limited to landlords, developers, renters, service providers and others
- understand and evaluate the city’s existing and past efforts regarding housing related matters
- learn about efforts made by other municipalities with the goal of finding new and creative solutions to similar problems
