We need your help!
We are working on hitting our goal for 2024 donations to help us continue the rehabilitation and remodeling of the Sharon Homes Campus.
The Sharon Housing Trust has seen tremendous support in 2024
In January, 2024, we were awarded a $50,000 challenge grant from Low Road Foundation
The Sharon Housing Trust was awarded a $50,000 matching grant to help it begin needed repairs at 91, 93 and 95 North Main Street in Sharon, where the Trust owns six affordable housing units across three neighboring buildings. The matching aspect of the grant will help promote community response to the Trust’s ongoing appeals for funding.
A local Sharon-based foundation is the generous benefactor. The Low Road Foundation matched each donation made to the Trust by other persons. The funds will be used to pay for initial, priority repairs to all three buildings. The Trust has raised enough money to match all of the offered grant, and benefited from a total of over $100,000 in donations in the aggregate. The repairs to the three buildings are needed as a prelude to the Trust’s application to the Connecticut Department of Housing for additional funds to upgrade the structures and maintain them as workforce housing.
The Trust is conducting ongoing appeals for community support to help keep the six apartments at 91, 93 and 95 North Main Street affordable, sustainable and in good repair, and to prepare for work at the Community Center.
Please consider supporting the Trust in its mission to provide housing solutions for Sharon’s workforce, for young people eager to gain a toehold in Sharon, and for downsizing families seeking to find affordable accommodations in our vibrant community!
