Senator Hassan Visits New Affordable Housing Development in Nashua

NASHUA – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan toured The Apartments at 249 Main, a new NeighborWorks Southern NH affordable housing development in Nashua. The development was built with federal funding and contains 45 new units set to open for tenants to move into by the end of September.

“New Hampshire’s housing shortage is hurting families trying to make ends meet, and it is hurting businesses by preventing them from recruiting the workers that they need. NeighborWorks Southern NH is doing important work to address the housing shortage in New Hampshire with affordable housing developments like The Apartments at 249 Main,” said Senator Hassan. “This project will help more Granite Staters access safe, affordable housing and will strengthen the local economy.”

The apartments were built in part using federal funding, including the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), which Senator Hassan is working to expand. Senator Hassan recently visited another NeighborWorks Southern NH project, the RENEW II project, a renovation in downtown Manchester that contains 101 residential units that were updated using the LIHTC to ensure that the units stay affordable.
