Marshfield Housing Authority Approves 2027 Annual Plan, Orders State Submission by July 31

Other Committee · Meeting of July 7, 2026

Marshfield Housing Authority commissioners voted unanimously Monday to approve the agency's fiscal year 2027 annual plan and authorize its submission to the state by July 31. Executive Director Rick Brouillard of the managing Quincy Housing Authority walked the board through the full 93-page document, which covers capital projects planned across fiscal years 2027 through 2029, totaling $256,087 in the coming year, slightly above the state's rolling formula allocation of $229,708. Highlights include masonry repair and waterproofing at Grace Rider, accessibility curb cuts added after resident feedback, and tree removal at T-Rock Gardens.

The board also voted unanimously to authorize the $4,778.18 final payment to Carpenter LLC for the completed building envelope project at 305 Webster Street and to seek a town easement for a new Grace Rider identification sign. Brouillard noted the submission timeline was unusually compressed: state software changes pushed all June-fiscal-year housing authorities onto the same schedule as September fiscal-year authorities, giving Marshfield roughly 48 days to complete a process that normally begins in January.
