Belmont Housing Trust approves $500 for Fair Housing Training, moves June meeting. Co-Chairs Gloria Leipzig and Judie Feins presided over approval of a $500 pass-through payment for the May 21 training at Belmont Library featuring Jenny Raitt of the North Middlesex Council of Governments, with reimbursement from HOME Administration funds (vote: 5-0, one member's vote not recorded due to audio issues). The Trust unanimously approved The Bradford's affordable rents at $2,489 monthly for one-bedroom and $2,700 for two-bedroom units, reflecting 3.6 percent increases at 80 percent of Area Median Income.

Planning Manager Conor McCormack reported the Brighton Street Zoning Project will open for Planning Board public hearing June 9, prompting the Trust to reschedule its June meeting from June 9 to June 16 to allow members to attend.
