About Harborlight

Harborlight Homes supports fair housing policies and approaches that promote equitable access to safe, stable, and affordable homes. We actively resist all forms of housing discrimination and work to ensure that housing strengthens communities and expands opportunity.

• Develops and preserves quality, economically accessible, community-centered housing
• Promotes long-term housing affordability and resident stability
• Integrates sustainability and resilience into housing design
• Reduces barriers that limit opportunity for individuals and families of modest means

Our Mission

Harborlight Homes (HH) is a non-profit, Massachusetts-certified Community Development Corporation that develops, manages, and advocates for high quality, service-enriched housing that is affordable for people of all ages. We support families in achieving economic stability and growth, make spaces for children to thrive, and homes for our seniors to age in place safely, well, and with dignity. We ensure those who have struggled with homelessness are able to regain independence, and essential workers have access to homes which allow them to live in the communities in which they work and raise their families.
