2024 Housing Production Plan Materials

Updated: 11/15/2024

In January 2023, the Town of Oxford contracted the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) to develop a Housing Production Plan (HPP) to be accepted by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC). The Town utilized a grant totaling $25,000 awarded by the Community Planning Grant Program as part of the FY2023 Community One Stop for Growth. To guide the development of the Town’s first Housing Production Plan, the Oxford Housing Production Plan Working Group was formed. Consisting of four (4) municipal staff, the working group met remotely with CMRPC one-to-two times per month between September 2023 and August 2024. CMRPC staff worked collaboratively with the Housing Production Plan Working Group to understand local housing conditions, seek input from the community using multiple platforms, and develop strategies to support the Town in meeting the housing needs of current and future residents. CMRPC provided any guidance and technical assistance needed to achieve the deliverables of the Plan.

The goal of developing a housing plan for the Town of Oxford is to provide our community with a guiding document for implementing affordable and alternative housing options to meet Chapter 40B regulations. The HPP represents the culmination of new baseline demographic and housing research, public comments, zoning information, regulatory reviews, and an implementation plan for stated goals and objectives.

The state's approval letter and our Plan are included via links at the top of this page.
