Ever wonder what goes into developing affordable housing? It is a long process from choosing a site, to designing the buildings, obtaining permitting, and acquiring funding. There’s a lot to do before a shovel hits the ground!
Watch this video to hear Sal Steven-Hubbard, LRCD’s Director of Real Estate Development, explain the process and talk about why LRCD needs community support to develop more housing. |

Harriman Hill III - Wolfeboro
IN CONSTRUCTION
This project is the third and final phase of the Harriman Hill development, which is a partnership with Eastern Lakes Region Housing Coalition. Phases I and II were built in 2012and 2014, and contain a total of 48 units.
Phase III will contain 30 units in a mix of unit sizes.
Construction is planned to wrap up in the fall of 2026. Local businesses can support the project by using NH tax credits from NH Community Development Finance Authority.

Gale School Redevelopment - Belmont
IN CONSTRUCTION
This project will transform the historic Gale School in Belmont, NH into a vibrant community facility hosting a child care center operated by the Boys & Girls Club of Central NH and a program center operated by Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS). The child care center will add 35 new child care slots to the Lakes Region. The LRCS Program Center will serve over 100 families.
The Gale School was built in 1894, and was used by the Belmont school district until the mid-1980s. The building has been vacant since then, and years of neglect have taken their toll. The Gale School was named one of New Hampshire’s Seven to Save in 2017 and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
Renovations are scheduled to be finished in the fall of 2026.

Jameson Street Apartments - Laconia
IN CONSTRUCTION
This single-family house is being transformed into three permanent supportive apartments for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities — individuals who are ready to live independently, but who, until now, have had few options beyond living with parents, entering foster care, or being placed in a 24/7 facility.
Thanks to a partnership between LRCD and Lakes Region Community Services, Jameson Street Apartments will be the first of its kind in the Lakes Region — a model for what inclusive, independent living can look like in our community.
Construction is scheduled for completion in September 2025.
