Wellfleet Housing Production Plan Survey
Welcome to the Town of Wellfleet's Housing Survey
Click here for the survey.
The Town needs your help to create a plan for housing solutions that contribute toward a healthy, equitable, and prosperous community.
When communities encourage homes of many shapes and sizes, it helps to give all kinds of people affordable options and keep prices from shooting out of reach.
This survey will walk you through a series of questions so we can understand your housing story and your perspective on the greatest needs in Wellfleet.
Note: If you fill out all questions, the average time to complete the full survey is 15 minutes. You may come back to finish the survey after you've started if you use the same device (e.g., laptop, smart phone, tablet, etc.). This survey can only be taken once per device.
This survey is voluntary and all responses are anonymous.
Thank you for participating!
If you are interested in staying updated about this planning process and any future public input opportunities, please email Rebecca Roughley at rebecca.roughley@wellfleet-ma.gov or call 508-349-0349 X1112.

Upcoming Art Exhibits to Benefit the Wellfleet Affordable Housing Trust
Local and beloved art galleries will be featuring shows centered around housing through the summer. Through an array of artists, these exhibits centered around housing, home and a sense of place.
Here’s the first event:
Artist: Traci Harmon Hay
Reception: Friday, August 5th | 5 pm - 7 pm
Exhibit Dates: August 3rd - August 31st
Where: Wellfleet Preservation Hall
I have always looked at homes as animate objects, with the purpose of providing warmth and shelter in exchange for care and love.
Now, owning a home has become untouchable for many.
The feeling of floating up and away portrays this dilemma. But, what if they were landing and affordable as opposed to drifting away?
Would this change our perspective?
Traci Harmon-Hay paints with fluid acrylics on raw canvas, building layers of wash into a final combination of opaque and transparent color. In all her work she plays with the concept of nature versus man. Originally a watercolorist, she spent a lot of time painting the beauty of Cape Cod. After years of studying the historic buildings within their environment she started questioning the interaction between humans and nature. The “Floating Structures” series was inspired by the evidence of sea level rise and demolition. “What if they could hover above their foundation, keeping them safe from wind and water or from the desire of man to rebuild?” The void of landscape gives our eyes and minds the ability to focus solely on the structure itself, contemplating its history and purpose in this world.
Traci Harmon-Hay received her BFA in illustration and painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and studied with Fritz Briggs of the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Represented by New York's Creative Freelancers, Harmon-Hay cofounded Studio Six, an illustration co-op in Baltimore MD. Her clients included the Washington Times, Baltimore Sun, Nation's Business Magazine, Yankee Publishing and Cambell's.
She owned the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet from 2000 until 2014, and continued to exhibit her work there along with many other local and nationally renowned artists until its closer in January 2021. She has also exhibited her work at the Left Bank Gallery, Bromfield Gallery and Fountain Street Gallery.
She lives in Wellfleet with her husband and two daughters.
