Our Island Home

A short film about housing on North Haven

About the campaign

The Our Island Home campaign will create nine new housing units on North Haven, meeting a critical need for our community. Our goal is to raise $1.6 million to support the development of FOUR affordable rental units and FIVE new, highly-efficient homes on the South Shore, which will be sold at an affordable price and with deed covenants that ensure they will remain affordable in the long term. The new housing units will enable young people, teachers, workers, and others to have affordable year-round housing options in our community.

$700,000 for additional subsidy for South Shore Road Developement

$100,000 for energy programs - especially low-income support/subsidy
