As New Haven’s economy has improved in recent years and as the city center has attracted more residents, New Haven has come up short on housing stock, achieving a vacancy rate among the lowest in the country and, subsequently, elevated rents in a growing area around downtown. We believe it is critical for new affordable and attainable housing developments to not only provide economically viable alternatives to an increasingly inaccessible residential rental market, but to create safe, beautiful, and healthy dwellings that are integrated into the local community.

Traditionally, affordable housing developments require significant financial investments to create durable and attractive projects, often balancing the cost of conventional structural materials and construction labor with the desire for convivial, well-designed buildings. Mass timber structural assemblies offer an innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective strategy to produce beautiful, durable buildings that benefit both the inhabitants, the neighborhood, and the regional economy.
