๐Ÿ”ธ Honoring the past while investing in the future.๐Ÿ”ธย 

Yesterday in Athol, we joined NewVue Communities, Congressman Jim McGovern, State Senator Jo Comerford, State Representative Susannah Whipps, and state and local partners to celebrate the grand opening of Residences at the Park.

This development exemplifies creative adaptive reuse, breathing new life into two historic school buildings. The Ellen Bigelow and Riverbend schools have been transformed into 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments that will be home to 53 mixed-income households. Two of the apartments are Community-based Housing for individuals with disabilities.

MHP is proud to provide a permanent loan and Workforce Housing funding to support this transformative project.

Congrats to all involved! ๐ŸŽ‰

At our recent all-staff meeting, we celebrated our Managing Director Mark Curtiss for 35 years at MHP. Colleagues praised Markโ€™s creative, committed, caring, and calm leadership style, and for making space for everyone at the table. And notably, many MHP staff members attribute Mark for being the reason theyโ€™re at MHP.

Mark is responsible for managing MHPโ€™s $1.5 billion multifamily loan fund, including oversight of program development, loan underwriting, loan origination, portfolio management, and capital sources. Additionally, he is the architect of MHPโ€™s rental housing loan programs including permanent financing, green and healthy financing, lines of credit, and credit enhancement for tax-exempt bonds, and he is directly responsible for the growth of the loan fund from its inception to over 26,000 units financed with no loan losses in the history of the portfolio.

He also serves as a director of the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders, which represents leading banks and nonprofit loan funds across the U.S. engaged in community development lending.

Weโ€™re grateful for Mark's leadership and proud to celebrate this milestone.

Yesterday, the Healey-Driscoll administration announced $278 million in state and federal financing and tax credits to support the creation of 2,500 new homes in 20 communities across the Commonwealth.

โ€œWeโ€™re on a mission to build more homes and lower housing costs in every part of Massachusetts, and today weโ€™re hitting the road to show that work in action,โ€ said Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. โ€œThis is about making sure that Massachusetts is a state where teachers, nurses, firefighters and young people can actually afford to live.โ€ย 

MHP supported more than a dozen awardees with letters of intent, helping advance developments that will create hundreds of new homes across the Commonwealth. MHP staff joined public officials and affordable housing development partners in Worcester and Newburyport to celebrate the announcement.
