The Town of Braintree Council on Tuesday unanimously approved the appointment of Deborah Linstead as the tenant member of the Braintree Housing Authority.
The appointment was sent to the full council with a unanimous favorable recommendation from the Committee on Ways and Means. Councilor Bridal, chair of the committee, introduced Linstead and noted she is a resident of the Marge Crispin senior housing complex and has lived in that property since March 2016.
The motion to approve the appointment, submitted on the mayor’s request and citing section 3-3 of the town charter, passed without recorded opposition. Councilors voted “aye” to confirm Linstead’s service as the tenant representative on the Housing Authority board.
Councilors and committee members thanked Linstead for volunteering; the council noted that Housing Authority board positions are unpaid, volunteer roles. The council’s next meeting was announced as March 18, 2025.
