Chrystal Kornegay will be chief of the Department of Housing and Community Development in Governor-elect Charlie Baker’s administration.
The state Interagency Supportive Housing Steering Committee and Working Group issued its Year Two status report, Building on Success, in December, outlining the state’s progress in 2014 in creating supportive housing. It reports that the 18 agencies will have created 3,065 permanent supportive housing units over two years by the end of 2014.
The Department of Housing and Community Development recently published its updated Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI), indicating 47 communities were at or above Chapter 40B’s 10% subsidized housing goal and 7 more were temporarily appeal-proof in accordance with housing production plans. Statewide, 250,683 units counted toward the 10% goal, up 3,804 units from the April 2013 SHI.
