Partnership – Island Housing Trust

STRONG PARTNERS MAKE STRONG COMMUNITIES

Building community through developing and creating affordable homes and apartments for year-round residents is the mission of the Island Housing Trust. To build/renovate homes that meet our exacting standards, partnerships are critical.

DEVELOPER, STEWARD & FUNDRAISER

Island Housing Trust is a non-profit developer and steward of affordable housing, both rental and ownership. Through our work we have formed strong partnerships with private donors, local businesses, other non-profits, the six island towns and state agencies, land conservation organizations, and other housing organizations. The Island Housing Trust secures land, project funding, and working capital from individuals and foundations, as well as competitive grants from local and state agencies.
