POAH - Preservation of Affordable Housing

POAH’s Role
Under the previous ownership structure, the affordability provisions were set to expire in 2016. POAH’s acquisition of the property insures that affordability at the property will be preserved in perpetuity.
The property includes two playgrounds, a basketball court and a community building with community room and management offices.
The acquisition was made possible by $3.2 million in 4% low income housing tax credit equity from the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation and $6 million in tax exempt bond financing from MassHousing. In addition, the transaction has significant support from a number subordinate funding sources including the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development, the Barnstable County HOME Consortium and the Town of Barnstable’s Community Preservation Committee.
POAH initiated $3.2 million in renovations including new roofs, replacement of all substandard kitchens and baths, improved ventilation in apartments, and fire safety upgrades.
