Property purchased in Ipswich for 2 affordable homes
Essex County Habitat for Humanity just purchased land from the Ipswich Housing Authority on which we will build a duplex that two families in need of affordable housing will call home.
Because the Ipswich Housing Authority shares the mission of providing safe, decent and affordable housing opportunities for Ipswich residents, they chose to sell the property at less than market value. The town also supported the project by funding the purchase through the Ipswich Affordable Housing Trust.
We are excited about this opportunity to help two more families and we thank the Town of Ipswich for their support!
