Regional Housing Committee

About the Committee

The Regional Housing Committee (RHC) is an advisory committee of the Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments. It was created following the adoption of the first Regional Housing Plan which recognized the need for better coordination and communication on housing issues across the region’s 17 municipalities.

Mission

The Regional Housing Committee will provide a forum for ongoing coordination and collaboration on housing issues between member municipalities with the goal of improving housing diversity and opportunity in the region. Key functions of the Committee will include the provision of resources and education materials for existing and potential residents, commissioners, developers, and landlords; partnership and engagement efforts with non-profits, private sector developers, and federal, state, and local officials; ongoing analysis of housing needs and recommendations to address those needs; and continued monitoring of progress and support of efforts toward the implementation of housing related goals and objectives in member municipalities.
