Inclusionary Housing Program | City of Somerville

City of Somerville Inclusionary Housing Program

The City of Somerville Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance was established in 1990 and has grown over the past three (3) decades, adapting to evolving community & housing needs. The purpose of inclusionary zoning as outlined in the current zoning under Development Benefits, is to implement the housing policy objectives of the City’s Comprehensive Plan by increasing the supply of long-term, affordable housing available to existing and future residents of mixed incomes. Through the Inclusionary Housing Program, residential units become available to income-eligible households at below market rate.

The City of Somerville works with private and nonprofit developers to create below-market rate housing opportunities for renters and homebuyers. Click on the tabs below to learn about affordable housing and other programs for income-eligible residents. For additional program information refer to the Inclusionary Program Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2023.

You can also search for affordable rental opportunities using the Housing Navigator MA website and homeownership opportunities using the MyMassHome website.

Fractional Buyout

The Housing Division has a monthly subscription to the Warren Group Data and is receiving information on all units sold in Somerville . Below are average sales prices in Somerville for FY ’23. These figures are to provide estimates for the Fractional Buyout for an ownership or rental ADU. The actual payment will be calculated at the time the payment is due.

Bedroom size	Studio	1-BR	2-BR	3-BR	4-BR
FY ’23 Average Sales Price	$443,058	$611,816	$826,792	$1,060,318	$1,264,904

The fractional buyout for an ownership or rental ADU is calculated as (A*B) where:
i. A is the amount of ADUs not provided (.2, .4, .6 or .8); and
ii. B is the difference between the average sales price of comparable market-rate units sold within the city of Somerville over the previous twelve (12) months and the sale price of an ADU in the ownership or rental price tier that would have been provided.

For Projects Permitted Under the May 6, 2016 Update to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance

The Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance for projects permitted under the May 6, 2016 update is available here.

Rents

Base rents for apartments with affordability set at Tier R1 and Tier R2 levels are based off “LOW” and HIGH” HOME RENTS, respectively. HOME RENTS are established by the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) and updated on an annual basis. HOME RENTS are available on HUD Exchange.
Base rents for apartments with affordability set at Tier R3 are 30% of a household’s income at the time of an income certification.
Finalized rents account for deductions for tenant-paid fees and utilities. Utility deductions are based off the Somerville Housing Authority Utility Allowance chart.

Tier R1 (<50% AMI): Base rent is the “LOW” HOME RENT. The final rent is the “LOW” HOME RENT and deducts applicable fees and tenant-paid utilities.

Tier R2 (51%-80% AMI): Base rent is the “HIGH” HOME RENT. The final rent is the “HIGH” HOME RENT and deducts applicable fees and tenant-paid utilities.

Tier R3 (81%-110% AMI): Base rent is 30% of a household’s annual gross income at the time an income certification is completed. The final rent is 30% of a household’s income and deducts applicable fees and tenant-paid utilities. Because rents at Tier R3 levels are proportional to a household’s income, rent may vary depending on whether a household’s gross income is closer to 81% AMI or 110% AMI. Below includes the ranges of annualized base rents for households comprised of one (1) through six (6) persons.

Tier R3 Monthly Gross Rent Ranges

Household Size	1-Person	2-Person	3-Person	4-Person	5-Person	6-Person
Monthly Gross Rent	$2,280.03 - $3,141.60	$2,605.03 - $3,590.40	$2,931.28 - $4,039.20	$3,256.28 - $4,488.00	$3,517.53 - $4,847.05	$3,777.53 - $5,206.08

Sales Pricing
The maximum sale price for an inclusionary unit shall be set at a level that allows a household at the designated Tier eighty (80) percent or one hundred ten (110) percent of Boston area median income, as the case may be, to pay no more than twenty-eight (28) percent of household income for housing costs. The maximum sales price shall be calculated as follows:

• Determine the maximum household size for an inclusionary unit based on one (1) person per bedroom (one (1) person in the case of a studio).

• Determine the maximum monthly income (MMI) for such household size, using income figures published annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for households at eighty (80) percent and one hundred ten (110) percent of Boston area median income.

• Multiply MMI by twenty-eight (28) percent.

• Subtract the estimated cost of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), Real Estate Taxes (RET), Condominium Fees (CF), Homeowners Insurance (HI) if not included in the CF, and required parking fees (PF), if any, if not included in the CF, to arrive at a maximum monthly mortgage payment (MMP).

• Calculate a maximum mortgage loan (MML) based on the MMP, assuming a 30-year term and at the then current conventional interest rate.

• Multiple the MML by 1.03 to arrive at a Maximum Sales Price (MSP) based on a ninety-seven (97) percent MML.

Most Recent Initial Sales Pricing

	1-Bedroom	2-Bedroom	3-Bedroom
80% AMI	$192,438 124 Highland Ave Unit 301	$229,410 65-71 Bow St Unit 306	$281,151 7-11 Aldersey St Unit 7B
110% AMI	$278,649 65-71 Bow St Unit 203	$335,834 65-71 Bow St Unit 405

Small Property Additional Unit Program (SPAUP)

Quality Standards for Three-Bedroom Affordable Dwelling Units

Per Somerville’s Zoning Ordinance, the Housing Director has the authority to establish quality standards for three-bedroom Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs). Current standards apply to all three-bedroom ADUs effective June 1, 2023.

Previous version:

3-BR Standards effective March 1 ,2022

Residential developments with thirty (30) or more units are required to provide 20% of the obligated ADUs as three-bedroom units, under Section 12.1.7 of the Somerville Zoning Ordinance.

Staff Walkthrough for Properties with Inclusionary Units

Prior to the lease up or sale of Inclusionary units, Inclusionary Program staff will need to perform a walkthrough of the building. This is typically leading up to or during the marketing of the affordable units. It entails a showing of all Inclusionary units, the project's shared spaces and amenities, as well as various comparable market rate units.

For an idea of what to expect, please review our Walkthrough Checklist.

56 Income-Restricted Rental Units at Montaje; Apply by November 13, 2017 (EXPIRED)

Thank you for your interest in the affordable rental units at Montaje in Assembly Row. The application period and waitlist for these units is now closed; the lottery was held on Monday, Dec. 11th 2017 at City Hall. SEB LLC, the consultant hired by Street Realty Inc. held the lottery for 56 income-restricted units available through the Inclusionary Housing Program. Click here to view a video of the lottery. One thousand seven hundred and seventy eight (1,778) complete applications for eligible households were submitted before the application deadline and included in the lottery. Only eligible households were provided with an application number before the lottery by either email or mail. After the lottery households received waitlist numbers via email or mail for the type of unit and income limit they applied for. If an email address was not provided, a letter including the waitlist number should have been received during the week of Dec. 18th 2017.
To see where you are on the waitlist, click on the link with the unit type and area median income (AMI) you were found eligible for then, look for your application number (no. 1-1,778) to find your standing on the waitlist. Households with the first numbers for each unit type at both 50% and 80% AMI have been contacted by Greystar, the management company which runs background and credit checks first. If households pass the first screening with Greystar, SEB then runs an income certification whereby households are required to fill in a Documentation Requirements Guide which was sent by SEB in an email or by mail with your application number before the lottery. Additionally, households must submit income and asset documentation for the most recent three (3) months as well as the most recent tax returns. If you have any questions regarding your lottery number or application please contact SEB at 617-782-2300 x204 or seb.housing@gmail.com. If you are on the waitlist and need to update your contact information please email or call Greystar at montaje@greystar.com or 617-623-0101.
