The Nantucket Housing Office will construct a building for a Housing Resource Center plus two apartments. Combined, the project will create a visible, community space for affordable housing as well as two rental units for Nantucket families. This project is significant for the NHO, as well as the community, as the project will eliminate rent from the Housing Office’s operating budget and add rental income to our balance sheet.
Plans are for a two story building with the Housing Resource Center on the first floor and the two rental units on the second floor. The Housing Resource Center will possibly include an entry porch, a reception area, four offices, one of which will be a community resource office, and an education/ conference room. A basement or garage will contain the property management aspects of the NHO. The plans for the two affordable units are two-bedroom, one bathroom apartments each having a small private deck.
The goal of the project will be to design a project
