2025 NHSH Homeownership Application Package

North Haven Sustainable Housing (NHSH) is excited to announce that applications are now open to enter a drawing to purchase two 3-bedroom homes located at Fish Hawk Road (off South Shore Road) and one 3-bedroom home at 174 Main Street in downtown North Haven. The drawing will also establish a waiting list for future home sales. 

The mission of NHSH is to provide housing opportunities to year-round residents of North Haven through both ownership and rental options. These opportunities are open to qualified year-round residents of North Haven who meet the eligibility criteria for each home sale and who will occupy the home year-round. 

In an effort to offer housing to a wide range of year-round residents of North Haven, NHSH offers homes for sale at below-market rates, with sale prices set on a sliding scale based on the homebuyer’s financial capacity. NHSH is able to fund the difference between the cost of homes and the selling price thanks to the generosity of our many committed charitable donors, who donate funds as well as land and sell homes to NHSH for below-market values.

To ensure NHSH’s goal of creating permanently affordable home ownership opportunities for North Haven’s year-round community, each NHSH home will be sold with an affordability covenant that limits the home’s resale to eligible year-round island households. To maintain homes in the affordable year-round housing stock, the covenant also provides NHSH the option to repurchase the home at an established price (plus an inflation adjustment) if the homeowner decides to sell. 

This application package outlines guidelines that NHSH will use to establish eligibility, create a waiting list of eligible homebuyers, and set home prices. 

If you have questions about the houses being offered, purchaser eligibility criteria and selection, pricing, or covenant restrictions, please call NHSH Executive Director Hannah Itzler at 207-245-8359 or email her at hannah@nhshousing.org.
