Increasing Housing in the Monadnock Region
Who needs Affordable Housing? Everyone!
For a healthy, thriving local community, having housing available across income levels is vital. Increased housing options provide the stable infrastructure that contributes to a robust local economy:
- Attract and retain professional employees and business leaders
- Ensure older adults can live in their communities as they age
- Sustain rural schools
- Control and reduce local tax rates
- Preserve local services such as early childhood teachers, hospital and nursing home caregivers, restaurant and retail staff
Monadnock Housing Development Fund Launched!
After hearing stories of local people’s struggles, MIP’s Housing Team has been
working diligently for two years to get a fund established that incentivizes the
building of housing to increase the Monadnock region’s affordable housing stock.
We are thrilled to announce that in the collaboration of the Monadnock
Economic Development Corporation the fund is now a reality!
Proposals are welcome for multifamily constructions, accessory dwelling units,
small development, subdivisions, resident-owned communities, basic
infrastructure in support of housing, and other similar projects.

Much gratitude to everyone who has been active in MIP’s Housing Team. Your
persistence has led to a new, innovative opportunity for all of us in the
Monadnock region.
