Although a diverse group, this group’s committees share the common thread of dealing with residential properties and issues that pertain to all types of residential properties. The committees include single and multi-family housing, senior housing and assisted living facilities, as well as affordable housing. These committees, with the exception of single family, also have a special emphasis on tax and zoning issues that pertain to multi-family/multi-generational residential housing.
