H+T has been developed as a more
complete measure of affordability
beyond the standard method of
assessing only Housing Costs. By taking
into account both the cost of housing
as well as the cost of transportation
associated with the location of the
home, H+T provides a more complete
understanding of affordability. Dividing
these costs by Representative Regional
Incomes illustrates the Cost Burden
placed on a Typical Household by
H+T expenses. While housing alone is
traditionally deemed affordable when
consuming no more than 30% of
income, CNT has defined an affordable
range for H+T as the combined costs
consuming no more than 45% of
income.

48. Closing Thoughts
1. Create a vision for your community.
2. Avoid reactionary planning - preserve your sense of place.
3. Concentrate development at the centers of your communities.
4. Resist the temptation to widen lanes or build strip malls outside of town.
5. Visualize and propose smart growth projects to developers
6. Partner with developers and share the burden of predevelopment activities.
7. Utilize the help of partners like CEI and local Economic Development Councils.
8. Don’t give up - Be Persistent. Stick to the plan.
The project would not be where it is today without the tireless efforts of Ken Woodbury
from the PCEDC, who wrote the majority of the grants and the Town of Dover Foxcroft.
