over the last 3 or 4 years. Eventually some of us started and drafted the
concepts that resulted in the creation of the YRHC. We all agreed that we were
fortunate to have many younger folks <i><span style='font-style:italic'>wanting
be here and still hanging on here</span></i>, most in rental situations that
were not guaranteed for the long term. Regular
participants: Selectman Steve Train, Selectman Ruth Peterson, Mark Greene,
Emily Jacobs and Sam Whitener and others. Mark Greene was subsequently
appointed Housing Administrator under a USDA Rural Community Development
Initiative grant through the Genesis Foundation. Separately, Alden Robinson was
dedicated to <st1:place w:st="on">Long Island</st1:place> by the Island
Institute as a Fellow in part to focus on affordable housing issues with Mark
Greene as Advisor.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

these participants worked through late 2006 and into 2007 to draft the initial
proposals, do the survey work, and brought forth Article 47 to Town Meeting:
Once again there was pretty widespread agreement as to our goal of finding ways
to make reasonable housing available to those here now that needed
it.
Regular participants: John Billings, Cade and Melissa Brown,
Leah Doughty, Mark Greene, Tom and Tammy Hohn, Michael Maloney, Mary Nanos,
Jonothan Norton, Ruth Peterson, Alden Robinson, Will and Amy Tierney, Steve
Train, Lorrinda Valls, and Katie Wegner. (Apologies for any other
participants I have overlooked).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

recommended by other housing groups and our proposal a non profit (and soon to
be 501c3) corporation was formed with purposes concurrent with those of the
YRHC. The YRHCorp will be available in the future to accept properties, if
offered, on behalf of qualified applicants. An excerpt of its purpose from
the IRS Application: – “<i><span style='font-style:italic'>The Year Round
Housing Corporation was formed in response to community-wide concern that low-
and moderate-income people, often young families and single individuals of all
ages, who are not presently property-owners, will be forced to leave the island
community because housing costs have severely outstripped the ability of residents
to buy in their own communities” </span></i>(Complete goals from the
application available if
interested).
Ruth Peterson is the Registered Agent of the Corporation; Leah Doughty is
Secretary; Mark Greene is President, and Stephen Train is Treasurer and all are
Incorporators and make up the Board of
Directors. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

work done by the YRHC, YRHCorp, Selectmen, Housing Administrator, and
