Congratulations to the Women's Institute for Housing & Economic Development (Terrapin Ridge, Sandwich) and Commonwealth Community Developers (Residences at Yarmouth Gardens) who received funding under the 2019 Affordable Rental Housing Awards.
Coastal Engineering is proud to be providing site engineering for these housing developments, working in partnership with a wonderful team of local professionals including Brown Lindquist Fenuccio & Raber Architects and Winslow Architects. We're excited to see these two projects move forward to support much needed affordable housing on Cape Cod.
Terrapin Ridge (Sandwich) is a new construction housing project for families. The Women’s Institute is the non-profit sponsor. DHCD will support the project with LIHTC and subsidy funds. The Town of Sandwich will support the project with $1.4 million in Community Preservation Act funds. When completed, Terrapin Ridge will offer 30 new rental units. All units will be restricted for households earning less than 60% of AMI, with 14 units further restricted for extremely low-income households earning less than 30% of AMI.
