In November of 2023, the Town of Oak Bluffs awarded the Island Housing Trust and the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center the opportunity to construct year-round, affordable housing for veterans on a 3.4-acre parcel of town-owned land at 50 Bellevue Avenue. The neighborhood will have 12 permanently affordable one-bedroom rental homes and a community room for meetings and recreation, housed within three 2-story buildings. The Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center will provide ongoing customized, wraparound supportive services to each resident. Each of the homes will be permanently affordable for year-round veteran residents earning up to 80% of the area median income for Dukes County. Our team is also seeking rental support vouchers to increase the affordability of each of the twelve homes.
