WHERE WE'VE COME FROM

Over the past two decades, Island Housing Trust has grown from a small community driven initiative into a leading nonprofit developer and long-term steward of permanently affordable homes. Today, with 174 completed homes and 140 more in the development pipeline, our mission has expanded in both scale and scope.

WHERE WE'RE GOING

Our 2030 goals build on our solid foundation. We’ll strengthen our core housing development work while deepening our commitment to stewardship, environmental sustainability, community engagement, advocacy, and long-term financial resilience.

OUR 2030 GOALS

Through an inclusive planning process—engaging residents, partners, town officials, staff, board members, and community leaders—we identified four strategic directions that will guide our focus and efforts through 2030

Create The Homes

  • Build 200 additional permanently affordable, year‑round homes across all six Island towns, including single‑family houses, multi‑family residences, and pocket neighborhoods.
  • Serve an additional 500 Island residents through a balanced mix of opportunities for low, moderate, and middle income households
  • Maintain the permanent affordability of our homes to serve generations of Islanders to come

Expand Capacity
Through New Programs

  • Strengthen the stewardship of our existing homes
  • Implement a nitrogen mitigation banking program to enhance our green building practices
  • Create a centralized hub for information on affordable housing Islandwide

Advocate and Engage
our Community

  • Deepen our engagement with the community
  • Cultivate broad public support for affordable housing
  • Advance policy solutions that strengthen the Community Land Trust model

Establish a Strong, Diversified
Fundraising Strategy

  • Broaden our donor base
  • Sustain our long-term impact and deliver our promise of permanently affordable homes
  • Position ourselves to meet the Island’s evolving housing needs

Our Vision 2030 Strategic Plan is a shared commitment. It reflects the collective wisdom, hope, and determination of a community that understands what is at stake and is ready to act boldly. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us and for the partnerships that make this work possible.
