Falmouth Housing Trust, Inc.

Providing affordable housing for low to moderate income families & individuals in Falmouth, MA Veterans and Falmouth residents.

What We Do:

Community Development Corporation
We build 100% affordable, deed- restricted neighborhoods on town-owned land that blend into their surrounding areas, with shingle style Cape Cod houses that include a buffer zone of undeveloped land for independent home-ownership for low to moderate income individuals. The Gerald Flynn House
We provide advocacy and service provision through our owners

hip and operation of the Gerald Flynn House, a 7-bed SRO, (single room occupancy), for homeless individuals, operated as a drug-free, sober house through case-management services provided by the Gosnold Treatment Center that includes preferential placement of U.S. Monitoring , Collaboration & Counseling
The Trust provides programs, services, advocacy, assistance, and related activities to promote and support the creation and preservation of affordable housing for the Town of Falmouth. Other interests and activities the Trust engages in are economic development, outreach, education, and real estate development as it relates to affordable housing for our low to moderate income constituency. The Falmouth Housing Trust screens applicants and maintains a ready-to-buy list for when a deed-restricted property becomes available for sale or resale, and acts as Monitoring Agent for 40B properties in the Town of Falmouth. To enhance the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, and the lives of its residents, by developing and maintaining affordable housing for the benefit of persons of low and moderate income within Falmouth and adjacent towns, and thereby: encourage employers to retain and create job opportunities, particularly for resident young people, and reduce out-migration; and rehabilitate housing and counteract community deterioration. Since 1986, the Trust has met a spectrum of housing needs in Falmouth. Our projects have created 42 affordable home ownership opportunities and 11 rentals for low-to-moderate income individuals and families. The Trust developed and maintains the Gerald Flynn House for the chronically homeless, many of whom struggle with the dual diagnosis of mental health and substance abuse disorders. Also, the Trust rehabilitated the iconic Odd Fellows Hall at 1 Chancery Lane, and converted it into single occupant, affordable rental housing. These houses were sold to individuals and families of low to moderate income, providing affordable home-ownership opportunities that otherwise would not have been available. All twenty-four houses were sold as 100% affordable, based on an 80% median income in Barnstable County set annually by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.

With a view of Quissett Harbor, guests enjoyed drinks and appetizer as they mingled and heard from President, Addie Drolette and Executive Director, Karen Bissonnette on current project to increase the Town’s workforce housing opportunities. Martha’s Vineyard Bank was the major sponsor of the event and Luke Murphy, Managing Director of Martha’s Vineyard Bank Trust and Investment Services spoke about the Bank’s commitment to workforce housing efforts.
