We spent 6 months studying Nantucket's workforce housing. Now, the findings are in. 👏

Conducted from January through June 2026, our study with the Boston-based consulting firm EBP US, combined an analysis of public property and geographic data with a survey of 72 Nantucket employers, four stakeholder interviews, a review of existing research, and case studies of four other tourism-dependent communities facing similar housing pressures.

Last month, we gathered together to present the findings and examine how employer-supported housing affects Nantucket's workforce, businesses, and year-round community. 🏠

For those who could not join us, you can take a look at the findings at the link below. The future of Nantucket housing starts here. ⬇️
