A Special Place to Live and Work
All together, now!
The McIntyre School Apartments is a hub of community in rural New Hampshire.
There’s a gem in the heart of Whitefield, NH’s downtown just up the street from the Triangle Dairy Bar…if you know, you know!
Welcome to McIntyre School Apartments, a unique building that once served as a school and now fulfills an important community purpose. McIntyre School Apartments (MSA) offers safe, quality, accessible residential living for low-income seniors aged 62 and over.
The 24 apartments are subsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and managed by Crotched Mountain Foundation. MSA is one of three apartment complexes, with the other two located in Portland, ME and East Greenbush, NY.
Beth Vincent brings 24 years of experience and works as a Service Coordinator for the tenants. In addition to pulling together community resources to support MSA residents, Beth has also spearheaded special groups like the gardening club and the outings club.
“I enjoy taking on challenges with the tenants and making a difference, meeting needs, investing in the lives of others,” she says. “The McIntyre community has always been a place I have felt welcomed, and it’s been a privilege to be a part of it for so many years. Every day brings something new.”
"The McIntyre community has always been a place I have felt welcomed."
The staff and residents have created a warm, inclusive community at MSA. The shared goal for everyone who spends their days in this special place is, as long-time Maintenance Technician Ken LeBrun says: “We strive to make MSA a special place to live or work.”
“The tenants have a strong sense of community,” says Cory Jackson, Occupancy Coordinator (and resident piano player) for MSA. “It is so great to be a part of that.”

A Chat with Anita Briggs, Affordable Housing Manager
How long have you been with MSA?
I’ve been with CMF for just over a year, serving as the Affordable Housing Manager. While I’m still relatively new to the team, I bring over seven years of experience in the affordable housing field and more than 15 years in the not-for-profit sector. This work has become a true passion of mine; there’s a lasting sense of purpose in what we do every day.
What is your role?
As the Affordable Housing Manager, I help ensure that our tenants have access to safe, high-quality, and genuinely affordable places to call home. My role touches on many aspects of daily operations, such as compliance, asset management, and troubleshooting challenges as they arise. I work closely with our team, community partners, and tenants to make sure everything runs smoothly and compassionately.
What do you like most about the work you do?
Growing up in Whitefield, NH, I’ve always felt a strong pull to give back to the communities I care about. There’s real pride in knowing that my work directly supports the people and places I call home. The most fulfilling part of this work is knowing it has a real and lasting impact. Housing is foundational. When people have a stable place to call home, it opens the door to better health, stronger families, and a greater sense of security. I also genuinely enjoy problem-solving; no two days are the same, and I’m constantly learning.
What is something you think people should know about living or working at MSA?
McIntyre School Apartments isn’t just a senior housing development—it’s a home, a community, and a family. It’s a place where tenants can feel safe, empowered, and supported. We encourage active participation through groups like the Garden Club and Activities Committee, and we offer weekly events like Wednesday Bingo and Friday breakfast that bring everyone together. MSA is a reminder that community starts at home. It’s a place where our elders can find not only stability, but also connection, dignity, and joy.
