The Office of Planning and Operations formerly the Office of Policy and Planning is charge with the responsibilities of monitoring affordable housing implementation and fiscal management of grants to local agencies and community development corporations. This Office continues to work closely with Rhode Island Housing

Since the Comprehensive Housing Reproduction and Rehabilitation Act was passed in 2004, communities such as North Kingstown, Burillville, New Shoreham, Middletown, Hopkinton, North Smithfield have made significant progress in implementing housing strategies and producing Low/ Moderate Income (LMI) units toward achieving their 10% affordable housing goal. The above
mentioned communities may achieve their 10% affordable housing goals within 1 to 2 years. The 2007 Annual Report on the Status of Implementation and Disposition of Any Applications Made Under the Plan is available on the HRC’s website.
