Help Us Build What the Midcoast Desperately Needs
The Missing Middle Can’t Wait.
​Right now, young households and middle-income workers are being priced out of Midcoast Maine.
​
Despite working full-time, many can’t find a safe, stable place to live in the communities they serve. ​ That’s why the Midcoast Regional Housing Trust exists — and why we need your support today.
​
After three years of laying the foundation, we’re ready to break ground on our first multi-unit housing project — a model for sustainable, community-focused housing that’s designed for the “missing middle.”
We can’t build it without you.
Your Gift Today Builds More Than Homes
It builds:
-
Stability for essential workers
-
Resilience for our communities
-
Momentum for long-overdue housing solutions
Why Now?
-
Because every month of delay puts families at risk of displacement and prevents middle-class families from moving to the Midcoast.
-
Because construction costs are rising.
-
Because the Midcoast cannot afford to lose more of its workforce.
We’re ready to act.
We have the land, the plan, and the will.

Trust MCRHT to Maximize the Impact of Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
If you use a Donor-Advised Fund, you already know the tax advantages. But your DAF can do far more than reduce taxes—it can directly fuel the creation of attainable housing for the workers who keep Midcoast Maine strong.
When you direct a DAF gift to the Midcoast Regional Housing Trust, you will:
Strengthen Midcoast Communities
MCRHT converts land and existing buildings into safe, attainable homes for local workers—teachers, healthcare staff, tradespeople, hospitality professionals, first responders, and more. Your DAF contribution helps stabilize families, strengthen our workforce, and keep our towns vibrant.
Accelerate Local Solutions to the Housing Crisis
The missing-middle workforce housing crisis isn’t theoretical—it is happening right now in every town across Knox County and the broader Midcoast. Your DAF gift fuels innovative, community-driven housing strategies that move projects from concept to construction.
Create Long-Term Impact That Lasts for Generations
Our homes remain permanently affordable. A contribution today becomes part of a long-term community asset—protecting Midcoast Maine’s character, supporting its economy, and ensuring future generations can live and work here. That is legacy-level giving.
Uphold Community Voice and Local Control
MCRHT works directly with residents, employers, municipalities, and partner organizations. Your support strengthens a locally led, regionally focused approach that ensures solutions reflect Maine values, traditions, and the way of life we want to protect.
Partner with a Responsible, Transparent Steward
We follow rigorous financial standards and invest resources efficiently to maximize housing impact. Donors can feel confident knowing their DAF support goes directly toward real homes for real people in our region.
