Advice to other housing committees:

• Gauge interest from the municipal governing body and if supportive, work with planning and zoning to get the idea started. Appoint committee members with housing interest and other skills such as finance, real estate, legal etc. Meet with the housing organizations at local, regional and state level to learn the lay of the housing land.
