Leasing at Tackenash Knoll, a new neighborhood of 60 permanently affordable year-round rental homes next to the YMCA in Oak Bluffs is expected to begin in early fall 2026, with the first residents anticipated to move in during spring 2027. The Community Builders (TCB), the nonprofit property manager for the neighborhood, will oversee tenant applications. Click here to visit TCB’s webpage and join their interest list.

Homes will be available to households earning between 30% and 120% of Area Median Income, creating affordable opportunities for a wide range of year-round Island residents. For example, eligible incomes range from approximately $34,000 for a one-person household to $211,000 for a five-person household, depending on household size and apartment type.

The Island Housing Trust creates permanently affordable rental and ownership homes for year-round Island residents. Applications and tenancy for the homes we build are managed by The Community Builders and the Dukes County Regional Housing Authority, who each may have additional affordable housing opportunities. 

The Dukes County Regional Housing Authority (DCRHA) is the public housing authority serving Martha’s Vineyard. It manages affordable rental homes, administers rental assistance programs, supports affordable homeownership opportunities, and maintains housing waitlists and applicant services. DCRHA manages some of the rental homes built by IHT and additional affordable rental opportunities on the Island.
