The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) works in concert with municipal leaders, public agencies, community groups, local housing authorities, and other non-profit housing developers in the planning and development of affordable homeownership and rental housing units, the preservation of existing multi-family housing developments, and community revitalization through a wide range of activities. These activities include for example the development of small to large-scale housing construction or rehabilitation, public infrastructure, downtown streetscapes, and cultural venues such as museums, theaters and cultural centers. OHCD is also responsible for long-term compliance monitoring to assure adherence to statutes, regulations and financial assistance agreements for housing development and preservation activities funded by the agency.
