Crotched Mountain Foundation’s affordable housing program offers safe, quality residential living opportunities for low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities. These units are subsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and managed by Crotched Mountain Foundation.
The apartments are located at three locations: Whitefield, NH, Portland, ME and East Greenbush, NY. Apartments are accessibly designed and affordably priced. Rental rates are based on 30% of a person’s adjusted income and includes heat, hot water, and electricity.
