Natick Council on Aging housing subcommittee releases inaugural senior housing assessment. The Housing Subcommittee finalized its first annual report on housing conditions for seniors to present to the full Council on Aging board on August 10, with Jim Fitzgerald, the subcommittee chair, leading the review. The group identified rising home fuel costs as the primary barrier to seniors remaining in their current homes, expressing concerns about the adequacy of existing assistance programs like SMOC if prices continue climbing.
The subcommittee discussed how new state zoning rules reducing multi-family housing restrictions could impact Natick's local regulations, and committed to developing a list of reputable contractors for seniors.
