The report is not yet final and will be presented to the Select Board on April 13. Members said the program may provide relief to some homeowners who are not housing-cost-stressed while failing to reach more stressed households when renters are included. The draft will also clarify that survey data do not establish that 60% of Concord homeowners are elders.
