The “CPA and Affordable Housing” guidebook, originally published in 2008 by CHAPA and MHP, was one of the first attempts to document and explain the various ways that CPA funds can be used for housing.
This second edition updates the eligible uses based on the 2012 amendments to the original legislation and is intended to be a comprehensive resource for CPC members and other involved citizens.
While the focus of this guidebook is how to use CPA funds to promote affordable housing initiatives, each CPA community will define their own local housing needs and priorities within a broader context of community preservation and development goals.
