Our Mission

Our mission is to support and provide equitable, affordable housing solutions for Nantucket’s year-round community. We are the only Island nonprofit exclusively dedicated to this critical issue. Our programs encourage, create and protect quality workforce housing that remains price-accessible for future generations. Join our efforts today.

The Challenge

The Nantucket housing crisis presents a serious threat to the preservation of Nantucket’s character. Many residents face a dismal choice: live in unsafe conditions, or relocate off-island. This unsustainable cycle deteriorates the community and leaves inadequate human resources for essential services. We can do better.
