The general purpose of the Block Island Housing Board is to provide affordable housing opportunities for year round residents of New Shoreham. This mission will be carried out by:
  • Purchasing, developing, and managing lands throughout Block Island for the purpose of providing permanent affordable, resale-restricted housing for low-income, affordable, and moderate-income buyers.
  • Providing and preserving homeownership for low and moderate income people who have been excluded from the market due to increasing costs of property.
  • Supporting efforts of non-profit organizations, municipal governments, state, town agencies, businesses and citizens in developing permanent affordable, resale-restricted owner and rental occupied housing.

The Housing Board meets on the Tuesday after the 2nd Monday in the month at 7:30pm at Town Hall.  The agenda deadline is the Friday prior at 12:00pm.  Please check with the Housing Board Clerk at 466-5699 to confirm meeting schedule.
