Watertown's Committee on Human Services voted unanimously to recommend reappointment of Zoe Weinrobe to the Affordable Housing Trust. Weinrobe, an affordable housing developer with seven years in Watertown, highlighted recent developments including MetroWest and a zoning overlay while raising ongoing challenges in housing supply. She advocated for stronger collaboration with the Community Preservation Committee on funding priorities, referenced Cambridge's allocation of approximately 80 percent of CPC funding to housing, and discussed inclusionary zoning and in-lieu fee reviews.

Councilor Emily Izzo moved the recommendation, seconded by Councilor Caroline Bays, and the motion passed 3-0, with the appointment term to expire June 30, 2029.
