Diversity Builds Stronger Communities
This holiday season, thank you for making a difference for affordable housing.
“We wanted stability in owning a home and yet at the same time we didn’t want to get ourselves overextended. This is our forever home.”

Our Impact
Andover Community Trust advocates for and develops homes that families can afford in the Andover community. We work hand-in-hand with Greater Lawrence Technical School, providing the sites where students can build their skills in carpentry, electrical, plumbing and HVAC while they build high-quality, architect-designed homes. We have developed 13 permanently affordable homes. And more than homebuilding, we foster and promote community-wide education, interest and involvement in affordable housing matters. And we help individual homeowners and renters in affordable housing connect with the community and the services they need. Our focus is on preserving affordability over the long term and welcoming families to a strong, thriving community.
