State and local officials came together for a heartwarming ribbon-cutting ceremony at LeClair Village, a lovely new community in Mashpee that boasts 39 affordable rental units across three buildings. This wonderful development is the result of a collaborative effort between Housing Assistance and Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), creating a welcoming space for families to call home. 💚

Housing Assistance is working with the Town of Orleans to manage their newly-established Rental Assistance Program. The program is for households in Orleans that are earning less than 100% of the area median income (guidelines below). Through this innovative program, households can receive a direct payment to their landlord of up to $350/month for up to one year. At the same time, household members are required to participate in ongoing case management and work with a housing counselor from Housing Assistance. The goal of the program is to lend households an extra hand in meeting their expenses while also providing the tools to maintain financial stability once the program has ended. There is funding available for 10 households to participate in the program. INCOME LIMITS FOR 100% AMI* - HOUSEHOLD SIZE (2024): 1 person: $88,600 • 2 people: $101,300 • 3 people: $113,900 • 4 people: $126,600 • 5 people: $136,800 • 6 people: $146,900 To learn more or apply, visit https://lnkd.in/e5MUWi6p

LeClair Village was developed through a partnership between Housing Assistance and Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH). The property is named after Mary LeClair, a longtime champion of housing issues on Cape Cod and a former board member at Housing Assistance, who continues to advocate for housing and other causes at the age of 90. #AffordableHousing #savethelocals
