Affordable Housing Trust Fund

The Medford Affordable Housing Trust was established by a City Ordinance to create and preserve affordable housing in the community for the benefit of low- and moderate-income households.

The Mayor’s Office, in conjunction with the Office of Planning, Development, and Sustainability, worked with the City Council to pass the Affordable Housing Trust. The Trust aims to create housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals and families who may not otherwise be able to afford to live in Medford. 

The Trust is comprised of a seven-member board that includes the Mayor, a Community Preservation Committee member, and five Medford residents with backgrounds in affordable housing policy, law, finance, design, and advocacy.
