On Tuesday, Preservation of Affordable Housing celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking of Spring Rock Village in Brewster. This new community of seven buildings centered around a common green will create affordable homes for 45 households while preserving much of the site’s existing woodland habitat. The development is committed to carbon-neutral energy efficiency and aims to achieve Enterprise Green Communities Certification Plus Zero Emissions.

This development is especially meaningful to us because MHP’s recently retired Laura Shufelt spent more than three years helping the Town of Brewster, Cape Cod and its Affordable Housing Trust bring this vision to life, providing technical assistance and site and financial feasibility analyses, supporting community engagement efforts, helping to draft the RFP, and facilitating review of the submitted development proposals. We’re thrilled to see those years of assistance result in much-needed housing for Brewster’s residents.

Speaking at the event, MHP's Dana LeWinter said, "MHP is incredibly proud to be back here again [in Brewster] providing both permanent financing and Workforce housing financing to take this project from concept to reality. These homes are such an embodiment of partnership, clear vision, and deep community engagement. Those things show what happens when you get a strong developer team and a supportive municipality… you need those things together.”

MHP is proud to support Spring Rock Village with both permanent and workforce housing financing. Congratulations to POAH, the Town of Brewster, and all of the partners who helped make this milestone possible. We can’t wait to see the end result!

On Monday, First Resource Companies celebrated the completion of 122 new affordable homes along Springfield’s State Street, bringing new life to two historic buildings.

Residences at the Vault transformed the former Federal Land Bank building into 60 apartments affordable to households earning at or below 70% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Originally built in 1924, the Georgian Revival building pairs preserved historic character with modern amenities and energy-efficient appliances.

Just down the street, Merrick Park Apartments converted Springfield’s former Fire and Marine Insurance Building into 62 affordable homes for households earning at or below 60% AMI. This Classical Revival was originally built in 1905 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Each development also included the renovation of an additional building, contributing to the total number of homes created at both properties.

MHP is proud to support both developments with permanent financing. Over the past 20 years, we’ve partnered with First Resources Companies to help create 1,094 homes in Springfield, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for our long-lasting partnership!

Congratulations to First Resources Companies and all of the partners, teams, and community leaders who helped bring these developments across the finish line.

What if much of an ADU could be built off-site and installed in a matter of hours? Explore factory-built concepts in the Massachusetts ADU Design Challenge Showcase at mass.gov/ADUdesigns.

The 682-square-foot Woodline by Julian Liang and Courtney Cheng of Jia Ba Bue is designed to be constructed in a factory, delivered by flatbed truck and placed on a prepared foundation by crane.

The one-bedroom home also incorporates accessibility throughout its single-story layout, including generous doorways, clear maneuvering space and a zero-threshold shower. A highly insulated envelope, all-electric systems and solar-ready construction support long-term energy efficiency.

Explore the design and resources to help start your ADU journey in the comments.

Last week, Pennrose Companies celebrated the grand opening of Forge in Lenox, bringing 65 new homes to the Berkshires.

The development features 13 newly constructed townhouse style buildings and a modern clubhouse, with 77% of apartments affordable at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) and 23% reserved for workforce households earning up to 120% AMI.

Set beside 30 acres of conservation land, Forge offers residents access to walking trails and scenic mountain and forest views.

MHP is proud to support this development with a $3.6 million permanent loan and a $2.25 million workforce housing loan, helping expand housing opportunities for individuals and families across the region. Congrats to all involved! 🎉

Earlier this spring, Backyard ADUs and City of Boston, Mayor's Office of Housing set up a 460 square foot detached ADU in the middle of City Hall Plaza. Residents were able to step inside and visualize what could be possible in their own backyards.
