In partnership with the Friends of Chatham Affordable Housing, the CDP purchased an existing commercial space located off of Main Street in Chatham. The building is located in the Cornfield Neighborhood Center, a designated mixed-use growth zone for the Town of Chatham. The commercial space (ground floor and basement) was converted into four 2-bedroom residential condominium units. The top floor of the building already houses three privately owned 2-bedroom residential units that were not bought or altered; they will remain market rate residential units. The units were made available to qualified households earning up to 80% Area Median Income. HarwichThe Little Homesteads – 836 Route 28, Harwichport, MA
836 Route 28 is a 1.36 acre property in South Harwich composed of a barn, colonial house, and small motel that were built together to form one large eight-unit rental complex. Units include a studio, five 1-bedroom units, one 2-bedroom unit, and one 3-bedroom unit. The property has been permitted for use as year-round rental housing for nearly 20 years. The Community Development Partnership bought the existing rental property in January of 2005. Leveraging multiple private and public funding sources, the CDP fully rehabilitated the interiors and exteriors of the eight units, converting the heating system from electric to gas, and improving the energy efficiency of the units through additional weatherization measures. The CDP served as the developer for the rehab and is now the owner and property manager for the rental property. Two of the units are affordable to households making up to 50% of the area median income (AMI) and the other six units are affordable to households making up to 60% AMI. The units are deed restricted to remain affordable in perpetuity. 17 and 19 Robert Lane – Harwich, MA

Three apartments create an eight-room single room occupancy residence for individuals committed to recovery from substance abuse. A supportive and cooperative living experience provides separate living quarters for five men and three women plus an apartment for a resident manager. Six rooms have project based rental assistance through the Section 8 Moderate Rehab program; these tenants pay 30% of their income. Two rooms are not subsidized because the CDC and its partners recognized that substance abuse has no income limits and people who may not qualify income-wise also need the program and services. The Community Development Partnership was the developer of this project and now owns the building. The services are provided in coordination with Orleans Housing Authority, and Gosnold, Inc. As needed, tenants receive assistance from additional community-based agencies such as Interfaith Council for the Homeless, Cape Cod Human Services, and the Cape Cod Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency.
