Housing Reserve Fund changes Debate

Economic Benefits - Costs

Option 2

One resident highlighted the potential for economic efficiency by suggesting the use of existing facilities, such as the cabins at the Brook Campground, for vulnerable housing support, which could mitigate some of the costs associated with expanding the Housing Reserve Fund's purpose. Another comment raised concerns about the need for increased resources if the Fund's scope is broadened to include support for vulnerable housing, indicating that additional financial planning and allocation might be necessary. These perspectives suggest a balance between innovative, cost-effective solutions and the anticipation of increased financial requirements to support the expanded objectives of the Housing Reserve Fund.
