Newton Housing Partnership

Mission
The Newton Housing Partnership’s mission is to foster, support and initiate land use, planning and fiscal policies and actions that ensure the development and preservation of housing available to households across a broad range of incomes.  In order to fulfill its mission, the Partnership acts in an advisory capacity to the Mayor, the Board of Aldermen and its committees, the Planning and Development Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Community Preservation Committee and City staff.

Membership
Members are appointed by the Mayor for a renewable term, generally for three years.  Members are selected from the Newton community and include representatives of nonprofit housing development organizations and businesses and institutions which are based in Newton or which serve the housing needs of Newton residents.  Click here for more information about this and other Housing and Community Development citizen advisory committees.
