Affordable Housing Trust explores 4-plexes, eyes zoning reform
Affordable Housing Trust · Meeting of April 2, 2026
South Hadley Affordable Housing Trust explores small multifamily development but identifies zoning and sprinkler code as obstacles. The seven-member trust received a $2,500 Massachusetts Housing Partnership Mini-Boost Grant to clarify strategic direction and confirmed that Wayfinders, developer of the Clover affordable housing project, remains on track after a pandemic-era $5 million cost escalation.

The trust holds $273,000 and received a pledge from an anonymous donor.
