This Playbook is a guide for how to effectively discuss Woodstock’s housing needs with members of the community and other stakeholders. It is intended to provide a framework for effective discussion, and includes key housing facts, supporting narratives, best practices for housing messaging, and engagement strategies. 

This Playbook was created to support the Woodstock Housing Committee which was formed in 2019 to identify and recommend sustainable, affordable housing options to the Town Board. The Housing Committee’s efforts support the 2018 Woodstock Comprehensive Plan’s mission to balance inclusiveness, community values, and environmental preservation while promoting sustainable growth.
