Why Contribute?
“There is a critical need for affordable and workforce housing in town, and many people are not aware of the need. If we want, as a town, to have economic and social diversity, creating affordable and workforce housing has to be a top priority.”
-Betsey Weiss , Vice Chair of the Lexington Housing Partnership Board
Your Help Is Needed
“Providing affordable housing in Lexington is a constant challenge, and an important priority – and so we need to become increasingly creative in finding ways to fund it. As home values rise and Lexington real estate becomes increasingly less affordable, our role is to ensure that there is affordable housing stock for a variety of economically diverse families.”
-Lester Savage, Vice Chair of LexHAB
