Support Nantucket's Lease to Locals program

After a successful pilot launched last year by ACKNow Community Initiatives, Lease to Locals is back this fall as a public-private partnership with Housing Nantucket at the helm.

The Town of Nantucket's Affordable Housing Trust awarded Lease to Locals a $450,000 public grant supplemented by a generous $100,000 contribution from Remain, totaling $550,000 to put directly towards incentives to homeowners to convert existing housing units into year-round rentals for local workers.

We're now raising the additional funds needed to run the program and help a few more families find housing!

Housing Nantucket is a 501(c)3 charitable organization established in 1994 dedicated to creating housing solutions for Nantucket's year-round community. Your gift is deductible for federal income tax purposes. To learn more, visit www.housingnantucket.org.

Please support our Island and its community by making a gift today.

More about Lease to Locals

Initially launched in September 2023 to help address the severe shortage of year-round housing for the local community, Lease to Locals unlocked 22 year-round rentals to house 54 island workers and their families. The hospital, schools, town government, and local businesses all struggle to address the island's needs because of the severe lack of year-round housing for workers.
