The Housing Partnership will prepare a letter weighing different development options for 212 Cochituate Road, including models larger than two five-bedroom homes. The site is intended to serve adults with disabilities, but members discussed the costs of 24-hour staffing, long-term operations, and the importance of integrating future residents into the community. The Partnership also received an update that construction at the St. Ann/Good Shepherd property is now expected to begin in late June or July 2026.
