NEW hAVEN

HOUSING INITIATIVE

A More Walkable, Sustainable Village Center
Fostering Growth with Community based infrastructure
With homes affordable to all New Haven residents, new and old

Our Goals

HOUSING

Our goal is to increase the number of middle-income affordable homes and senior housing. That way, folks who already call New Haven home are more able to stay, and folks who want to move here are more able to join our community.
WALKABILITY

Walkability and pedestrian safety is a critical aspect of any lively, rural village. We’d like to our kids to feel safe walking from school to the town green to get a creemee.
MUNICIPAL SEPTIC

Any rural homeowner knows how costly septic installation and maintenance can be. Let’s share that resource as a community so that fewer households have to carry those costs on their own.
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Our goal is to support the amazing farms and small businesses that already exist in New Haven, and foster new business growth wherever possible.
