Question 2: Two high-priority strategies of the recently-passed Melrose Housing Production Plan were: 1) Pass the Community Preservation Act, a property surtax earmarked for Affordable Housing, Historic Preservation, and Open Space and 2) Create a down payment assistance fund for low- and moderate-income households looking to purchase a home in Melrose, and target low homeownership rates among marginalized communities. Do you support these high priority strategies? Why or why not?
