Affordable Housing Committees

If you are a member of your local Affordable Housing Committee who is interested in learning more about affordable homes, we encourage you to look at our data specific to each Rhode Island municipality.

The materials on this page support the free workshops that have been developed to meet needs identified by Affordable Housing Committees/Boards around the state. The workshops are designed to provide participants with specific skills and information to help them work more effectively. If you would like to learn more information about the free workshop series developed for Affordable Housing Committees, please call HousingWorks RI at 401.274.4564.
