Building Our Future Fund

The Midcoast is facing a housing crisis that threatens the fabric of our communities. Too many working families, essential employees, and long-time residents who identify as the “Missing Middle are being priced out of the very towns they serve.

 

Without attainable housing, our schools, businesses, hospitals, and local economies cannot thrive.


We created the MidCoast Regional Housing Trust (MCRHT) to change that.

 

Through strategic partnerships with municipalities, employers, and community members, we are building solutions that ensure the people who make our communities strong can live here, year-round.


The Building Our Future Fund is our first major capital campaign, with a goal of $1.3 million. 


This campaign will:

  • Develop land for multi-unit housing designed for the “Missing Middle.”

  • Leverage public and private investment to accelerate housing solutions.

  • Provide long-term stability for individuals and households who call the Midcoast home.

There is a significant shortage of affordable housing units. A 2023 study estimated that Knox County needs over 2,000 new homes by 2030 to address current needs and projected population growth.

Founded in 2022, MCRHT is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to developing and stewarding permanent year-round workforce housing in Knox County and the neighboring towns of Lincolnville and Waldoboro. We envision vibrant communities of economically diverse residents who want to live, work, and retire in the region.
