Confronting the Challenge of Affordable Workforce Housing on MDI - Island Housing Trust

Confronting the Challenge of Affordable Workforce Housing on MDI - Island Housing Trust Online

There is a serious threat facing the island, and the situation is getting worse.

Many of those who work here year-round, who make up—and contribute to—the communities of MDI, cannot afford to live on the island.

MDI is facing an acute housing crisis. But there are solutions. Join us for a Southwest Harbor Pubic Library hosted online program to learn how Island House Trust (IHT) is providing sustainable year-round housing opportunities to prevent MDI from becoming a hollowed out ‘shell.’

A brief presentation will be followed by plenty of time for audience questions and discussion with IHT Executive Director, Marla O'Byrne, College of the Atlantic Data Scientist, Kyle Shank,  and Vice President, IHT Board of Directors and Human Resources Consultant Joanne Harris.

For more information, call the library at 207-244-7065 or email programs@swhplibrary.org. Visit https://www.islandhousingtrust.org/ to learn more about IHT's work.
