Philippe Jordi Explains the Island Housing Trust

Philippe Jordi, affordable housing advocate and Executive Director of the Island Housing Trust – has worked for the past eleven years as a developer and manager of affordable housing for the Island Housing Trust and the Dukes County Regional Housing Authority, and as a community development planner for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah). In this episode, Philippe talks about the housing market on Martha’s Vineyard and tells us about the Island Housing Trust. Below I have copied some information from their website and provided a link.

Island Housing Trust

CREATING PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR MARTHA'S VINEYARD

The Island Housing Trust works to maintain the character, vibrancy and diversity of the six towns on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard by acquiring land and creating permanently affordable homes. The Trust aims to bridge the gap between the island’s increasingly high property values and the families and individuals who live and work here earning low and moderate incomes – people who are vital to our well-being and to our community’s future.

Founded in 2001, IHT is a community based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization working in partnership with the island’s six towns, existing housing organizations, and its member homeowners and renters.
