Welcome

The City is interested in increasing affordable housing opportunities for those who would live to live in Newburyport. In addition to our Housing Rehabilitation Program, we work with developers to increase our supply of units that are reserved for people who are of low to median income, who might not otherwise be able to afford housing in the City.

Affordable Homeownership Resale Opportunities

There are several units within the City of Newburyport that are deed restricted as "affordable." When these units are placed on the market as a resale, the Newburyport Affordable Housing Trust (NAHT), is charged with helping to find eligible buyers.

Maritime Landing Maritime Landing

This property was developed by Portside Realty Development as an affordable housing project under Chapter 40B. As a result, 25% (29 total) of the 116 units have permanent deed restrictions on them which requires that they be made available for purchase by qualified, income-eligible applicants.

Foundry Square

This property was developed by Trinity Financial in conjunction with the City of Newburyport to provide affordable home ownership opportunities at the former DPW site on Merrimac Street. The project was completed in 2006 and provided the City with 13 affordable housing units.

ELIGIBILITY

In order to be eligible to purchase affordable resale units, household income must fall within the limits below (as of 5/10):

Household Size 1 2 3 4

Affordable Rental Housing

The Newburyport Housing Authority is the best place to inquire about local affordable rental opportunities. They own and manage developments at the Sullivan Building, Horton Terrace, and Kelleher Park, in addition to administering Section 8 vouchers, and other housing programs. You may also visit MassAccess to view affordable and barrier-free rental housing.
