Celebrating 25 Years For the past 25 years, we have developed high-quality, affordable rental housing throughout the Lakes Region. We currently own and operate a $46 million real estate portfolio comprising 341 affordable apartments in Ashland, Laconia, Meredith, Tilton, and Wolfeboro. In 2018, we will add another 24 apartments to our portfolio with the completion of the senior affordable development, Gilford Village Knolls III. There are several ways you can join us as we celebrate a quarter-century of service to the Lakes Region and launch new programs and services that will benefit communities throughout the region. On Thursday, April 12th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, we will host a special reception at the Belknap Mill for long-time supporters and new friends. If you’d like to join us, please email [email protected]. On Saturday, June 9th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm we are throwing a family-friendly block party at our beautiful River’s Edge property on Union Avenue in Laconia. Games, food, music, and fun for everyone! Check out our $1 DipJar campaign as it moves around the Lakes Region to a different local business every month this year.

Gilford Village Knolls III Update  Gilford Village Knolls III (GVK III) is currently under construction and scheduled for completion in summer 2018. After a successful first blower door test to determine air tightness of the building, construction crews have been busy installing the triple-glazed windows. Installation of interior insulation, electrical, and mechanical, as well as the elevator are also underway. Our goal is for this building to be Passive House Certified. If we are successful it will be the first multi-family affordable housing project to receive this certification in NH!

Building Community at RIVER'S EDGE Once a week you can find many River's Edge residents socializing in the Tenant Lounge for Coffee Hour. A resident board member who serves on the Tenant Advisory Committee brought the desire of some residents to get to know their neighbors to a committee meeting and with the help of our Resident Service Coordinator and a coffee maker Coffee Hour began. Half of River's Edge residents are seniors. For seniors especially socialization is important, enhancing health and stimulating mind and memory. Most bring their own mugs, we provide the coffee, and they provide the news and laughs.
