Housing and Property Management

Since 1981, Hilltown CDC has developed, renovated, and managed housing for low—and moderate-income homebuyers, tenants, and seniors. 

Unaffordable housing and rental scarcity in the Hilltowns force many out of the market, including seniors and those requiring accessibility. Hilltown CDC addresses these challenges by developing a variety of affordable housing options. We partner with federal, state, and local organizations to build and renovate homes for first-time homebuyers, develop affordable apartments for individuals and families, and build and maintain senior housing facilities. Our portfolio includes 68 affordable rental apartments in seven Hilltown municipalities.

We encourage Hilltown residents and organizations to contact us about our programs and discuss housing needs in the area. For more information, contact Kristepher Severy at 413-296-4536 x 105.

Help for the Unhoused through the Continuum of Care Program

Since 2014, five apartments in Hilltown CDC’s affordable housing portfolio have been reserved for tenants participating in the Continuum of Care (CoC) program, offering permanent, supportive, and safe housing for chronically homeless persons and families.

The program utilizes a “Housing First” model and funds case management to help tenants create a wellness plan to identify areas of concern, stabilize their living situation, and work towards self-sufficiency. Their apartments are within walking distance of public transport, providing access to medical and social services, shopping, and schools.

Tenant information is gathered as part of CoC and affordable housing requirements. Tenant data is maintained in a Housing Management Information System (HMIS). Following is Hilltown CDC’s privacy notice regarding the collection of information about tenants participating in the CoC program:

Personal information will be collected only when appropriate and may be disclosed to provide participants with services or comply with legal or other obligations. It is assumed participants agree to allow their information to be collected and used as described in this notice. Participants may inspect personal information collected and request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information. Participants can ask questions about the privacy policy or related practices, and Hilltown CDC will respond to questions and complaints. A copy of the full policy will be provided upon request and may be read here. The policy may be amended at any time.
