As executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland, I know that town councils that support the need for affordable housing are critical to our mission and goal: that Falmouth town employees, plus others whose jobs are closely linked with our residents’ needs, can afford to live here.

For several years I have worked with Falmouth officials to build a small community of affordable homes, homes whose ownership we would heavily subsidize, so the cost of ownership would approximate $1,400 per month.

The incumbent councilors are supportive of our program, so if we elect three supportive councilors June 11, we can at last make this plan a reality.

I have talked with all five candidates, and four of them told me they strongly support our plan. They are Jim Chaousis, Janice DeLima, Tommy Johnson and Jay Trickett.
