About
The 3-story Cape View Way development is a partnership between POAH and Housing Assistance. Cape View Way will create 42 units of affordable housing with a mix of nine one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom, and five three-bedroom apartments. Three apartments will be fully handicapped-accessible and a fourth will be accessible to sensory-impaired residents. Residents will also benefit from a community room, mail room, library, outdoor entertainment area and basement storage. Twenty six apartments will be available to residents earning 60% of the area median income (AMI) with 16 units subsidized for residents at 30% of AMI. The building will be designed to Passive House Energy efficiency standards, another of POAH’s continuing efforts to build sustainable housing on Cape Cod. Last year, POAH opened Brewster Woods, a 30-unit development that serves low- and moderate-income households - the first multi-family Passive House certified project on the Cape. The project is funded through state-allocated federal sources include 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding plus MA Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities gap funding including Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Housing Stabilization Fund, Housing Innovation Fund and local funding includes ARPA, CPA, and HOME funding.
