Affordable housing is the foundation of a healthy, resilient community

Our Mission

At New Milford Affordable Housing (NMAH), we believe that a thriving community begins with a place to call home. Our mission is to expand equitable, sustainable, and community-centered housing opportunities in New Milford and the surrounding region — ensuring that families, workers, seniors, and individuals of all backgrounds can live with dignity, stability, and opportunity.

We work at the intersection of housing, economic security, and community wellbeing. Safe, affordable homes aren’t just structures — they are the foundation for strong schools, vibrant neighborhoods, resilient local economy, and the health of our entire community.

Driven by passion

The need is real and growing. Families struggle with rising rents, workers are priced out of the community they serve, and seniors on fixed incomes face precarious housing situations. Without affordable options locally, our neighbors are forced to move farther from jobs, support systems, and essential services. This destabilizes families and strains the fabric of our community.

Affordable housing is an infrastructure that supports workforce retention, educational success, public health, and economic stability. By investing in homes people can afford, we are investing in the strength and resilience of Connecticut as a whole.

We Advance Our Mission Through

We work closely with residents, community organizations, local government, and funders to co-create solutions that are rooted in local priorities and shared vision. Housing challenges are community challenges — and real solutions happen together.

Strategic Development

Responsible Stewardship

We identify and develop affordable housing projects that respond to local needs — integrating smart design, long-term sustainability, and community feedback into every decision.

We prioritize transparent, data-informed planning, sound financial management, and long-term viability. Every project reflects our commitment to excellence and accountability.

Collaborative Partnerships

We champion policies and practices that unlock inclusive housing access, and we foster innovative models that can be replicated throughout the region.

We are dedicated to building housing that serves New Milford today — and that makes the community stronger for future generations.
