The Pro-Housing Community Program is designed to reward local governments that are working hard to address the housing crisis in their community. By passing the Resolution, the Town recognized the urgent need to address the housing affordability challenges within the Town of Southampton, and expressed eagerness to implement policies that promote affordable, diverse and accessible housing options, while ensuring that those efforts contribute to the overall economic vitality and quality of life within the Town. Becoming a Pro-Housing Community will provide access to critical resources, including significant financial incentives that could potentially support the revitalization of the Hampton Bays downtown.
