Laurie worked with dozens of Town Meeting Members to establish a consistent and transparent process for creating a Housing Plan and Policy that would respect the authorities of all Boards and branches of government.

Town Meeting's overwhelming support and vote on this process led to the creation of the Citizen Advisory committee on Housing

Laurie's contributions to this process included:

• Early efforts to create this process including testifying before Senate and House Committee's in favor of this change

• Participating in the Critique of the Housing Plan and Policy

• Creation of a Housing Distribution Study of Framingham

• Contributing to the analysis of the new Housing Plan and Policy Entire Policy and Plan can be found here
