During the recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Affordable Housing Trust in Southborough, officials discussed the pressing timeline for submitting a community housing plan, with a deadline set for the end of July. This timeline has raised concerns among members, who acknowledged the challenge of completing the plan in such a short period.

One trustee described the task as "daunting," reflecting the urgency and complexity of the work ahead. Despite these challenges, there was a sense of determination among the board members, as they noted that both community partners expressed their willingness to collaborate on the project.

The discussion highlighted the importance of timely action in addressing the community's housing needs. With a budget of $45,000 allocated for this initiative, the trustees are optimistic that they can meet the deadline and deliver a comprehensive plan that will benefit residents.

As the board moves forward, the focus will remain on ensuring that the housing plan effectively addresses the needs of the community, paving the way for future developments and support for affordable housing in Southborough. The next steps will involve coordinating efforts with community partners to ensure a successful submission by the end of July.
