Dear Friends,

As we reflect on 2024, we are proud of the significant progress made toward our mission of ending housing insecurity on our Island home, Martha’s Vineyard.

In April, we completed Carl Widdiss Way, Aquinnah’s first town-led neighborhood of permanently affordable year-round rentals. Then in November, we broke ground on Meshacket Commons, a neighborhood of 40 permanently affordable year-round homes (36 rentals and 4 ownership) in partnership with the Town of Edgartown and Affirmative Investments.

Looking ahead, as part of our Vision 2025, we have 10 additional neighborhoods in progress, bringing 142 homes (124 rentals and 18 ownership homes) to five island towns. These include:

  • Tackenash Knoll, Oak Bluffs: 60 rentals

  • 401 State Road, West Tisbury: 8 rentals

  • Cat Hollow, Tisbury: 6 homes for first time homeowners

  • Bellevue Veterans Community, Oak Bluffs: 12 rentals for Veterans

  • Leland Avenue, Tisbury: 2 ownership homes

  • Pin Oak Circle, West Tisbury: 2 ownership homes

These neighborhoods are far more than just buildings - they symbolize hope, stability, and opportunity for hundreds of working Island families and individuals. By creating permanently affordable, year-round homes, we are laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient community and local economy.

Island Housing Trust is proud to serve as the leading non-profit on Martha’s Vineyard dedicated to creating and maintaining permanently affordable housing. We are deeply grateful for your continued support and commitment to our mission. Together, we’re making great strides towards ending housing insecurity on Martha’s Vineyard and there is much more to do! We cannot achieve these goals without you.

With gratitude,

 
 

Philippe Jordi, CEO Pam Craven, IHT Board Chair

 

"The Town of Edgartown is proud to see this neighborhood come to fruition. I look forward to seeing these deserving individuals and families in a home that will provide genuine continuity for our entire community." 

Mark Hess,
Chair of Edgartown’s Affordable Housing Committee
