4 CPA: History The Community Preservation Act (CPA) was created in 2000 by a state law (MGL Chapter 44B) to help cities and towns preserve the character of their community. The act allowed a 3% surcharge on Property Tax bills (with certain residential exemptions) to fund affordable housing, open space and historical preservation. It was adopted by Cambridge voters in November 2001; the CPA Committee was formed by the City Manager March, 2002. In July, 2012, amendments to the CPA legislation now allow for greater flexibility in use of CPA Open Space funds from the first 10% allocation, including active and passive recreational uses such as parks, playgrounds, community gardens and athletic fields. Each year, at least 10% of annual CPA revenues shall be spent or set aside for later spending on open space, historic preservation and affordable housing. The remaining percentage can be used towards any of the three funding categories. Summary of CPA Fund Allocations and Appropriations all Sources (Prop.

16 Continued Need for Affordable Housing There are 565 units facing expiring affordability restrictions before 12/31/2020. The waiting lists with the Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) for affordable rental housing are closed and not expected to be reopened for 2 years. At the time of closure, there were 11,009 distinct applicants. Currently in the Community Development Department (CDD) applicant pools, there are:  1623 applicants in the rental pool  More than 300 applicants in the homeownership pool. In order to afford the median market asking rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Cambridge, a two-earner household being paid Cambridge’s living wage would each have to work more than 75 hours per week to afford the rent. In 2015, the median market price for a condominium in Cambridge was more than $610,000, which would require an income of more than $130,000 per year to purchase without a significant down payment. 2016 Median Market Asking Rents 1-bedroom $ 2,300 2-bedroom $ 2,800 3-bedroom $ 3,400

Twenty low- and moderate-income households should be moving into these new units in the fall. More than 1,100 households applied for available units. The creation of these homes close to jobs, transportation and all the amenities of Kendall Square will transform this long-vacant parcel into a community asset.

19 Homebuyer Assistance Through the Financial Assistance program and the First Time Homebuyer Program, income eligible individuals and families have been able to purchase an affordable home in Cambridge. Over the last 5 years, more than 75 first time homebuyers have been assisted in purchasing property.

20 FY17 Recommended Use of Historic Preservation Funds: $1,230,000 (10%) The Cambridge Historical Commission has a complete set of Cambridge city directories, which were published almost every year from 1846 to 1972. Directories list every householder and tenant in the city, and give their residence, occupation, and place of work – an invaluable source for research by staff and members of the public. The Commission’s directories receive heavy use, and must be scanned for continued access.

Replacement or resetting the shattered and displaced bluestone in front of the Longfellow-Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site will meet current accessibility regulations. Lowell Park Landscape Plan An $85,000 CPA appropriation in FY2016 supported the current restoration of the deteriorated brick wall along Brattle Street. The requested appropriation for FY2017 will enable preparation of a landscape master plan for the entire park and will be fully matched by DCR. Lowell Park, ca. 1900 Lowell Park wall restoration

22 Magazine Beach Cambridge’s appropriation of $181,500 in CPA funds for the restoration of the powderhouse and completion of the Magazine Beach master plan has resulted in $700,000 in capital expenditures by DCR. Additional investment is necessary to complete the project. Powderhouse Facilities The exterior of the 1807 powderhouse has been fully restored, but the building remains a shell. Provision of lighting and accessible bathrooms will fill an urgent public need and make the building more desirable for a commercial tenant. Total project cost estimated at $175,000-$200,000; DCR will match city’s contribution. Restored masonry, with new roof, windows and security door. Old Burying Ground Improvements The city’s oldest cemetery is in continual need of specialized maintenance. This grant will continue a multi-year restoration of headstones and tombs at the cemetery.
