o  Pro-Housing Communities Resolution
  RESOLUTION No: 202709012026
  Trustee Cameron moved and Trustee Lazickas seconded that
  WHEREAS, the Village of East Aurora believes that the lack of housing for New York residents
  of all ages and income levels negatively impacts the future of New York State’s economic
  growth and community well-being;
  WHEREAS, the housing crisis has negative effects at regional and local levels, we believe that
  every community must do their part to contribute to housing growth and benefit from the
  positive impacts a healthy housing market brings to communities;
  WHEREAS, we believe that supporting housing production of all kinds in our community will
  bring multiple benefits, including increasing housing access and choices for current and future
  residents, providing integrated accessible housing options that meet the needs of people with
  sensory and mobility disabilities, bringing economic opportunities and vitality to our
  communities, and allowing workers at all levels to improve their quality of life through living
  closer to their employment opportunities;
  WHEREAS, we believe that evidence showing that infill development that reduces sprawl and
  supports walkable communities has significant environmental and public health benefits; and
  WHEREAS, we believe that affirmatively furthering fair housing and reducing segregation is not
  only required by law, but is essential for keeping our community strong and vibrant;
  NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Village of East Aurora, in order to take
  positive steps to alleviate the housing crisis, adopts the Pro-Housing Communities pledge, which
  will have us endeavor to take the following important steps:

  housing, affordable housing, accessible housing, accessory dwelling units, and supportive
