Back in the late 1980’s a group of motivated and dedicated New Milford citizens formed New Milford Affordable Housing (NMAH) Donald Rackliffe, Brian Arnold, Terry Pelligrini, Walter Rogg, Patricia Tripp, Marsha LaTour, Nicholas Romaniello, George Doring, Ruth Malins, Barbara Wollkind, Thomas Leahey, Jr., Betty Halpine, Brookes Temple, Robert Rush, and Martha McMahon recognized that there was a need for affordable and supportive housing in the greater New Milford region. They banded together and formed New Milford Affordable Housing (NMAH). NMAH became a legal nonprofit corporation in December 1990 and has been helping local people who need housing ever since. It was important to the founders that NMAH be a nonprofit so that NMAH could focus on providing excellent affordable and supportive housing for the community rather than profit. NMAH is the only nonprofit in the area that is building affordable and supportive housing for all ages and socio-economic ranges. While there are other affordable housing projects in the area, they are either built by for-profit developers who must consider profit when operating their properties or elderly only properties. With continued help from donations and grants, NMAH can consider the welfare of the community and its residents free from profit influences. NMAH has built two major affordable/supportive projects in New Milford: Indian Field a 40 unit affordable complex off Fort Hill Ave and Brookside Commons a 12 unit supportive housing complex on Thomas Lane. Both are located near downtown New Milford and transportation and have handicap accessible units. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1617035673568-935ZV8PBUYIPCCK5BOQO/hungry.jpg About NMAH - How we Help and Who we Help New Milford Affordable Housing helps those in need of supportive and affordable housing by providing low-cost clean modern housing. Affordable Housing is what we help with, who we help is the heart of everything. We help people. Most of who we help are children and families. We help those who are the most vulnerable and in most need of help. Many of who we help were in a homeless shelter or other types of shelters before coming to us. We help through housing and supportive programs. At Brookside Commons Apartments all of the units are supportive units. They are for individuals and families who earn less than 30% of the average mean income (as determined by HUD) for the Greater New Milford area. These units are supportive housing. Supportive units help people become productive members of society through an innovative program of providing life assistance services (like case managers), life skills building programs in addition to the low-cost housing. Our on-site staff is highly skilled in responding to the unique needs of this community. Through this supportive mix of additional services, people living at Brookside gradually get helped to find employment, establish basic credit, learn to budget, and eventually, they get to a point where they are ready to move on to more conventional housing and live productively on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1617035715346-65N4LW9171RESWQNPS1L/family.jpg About NMAH At Indian Field, all the units are for individuals and families earning no more than 50% of the average mean income (as determined by HUD) for the Greater New Milford area. Many at Indian Field are hard-working people earning at or near minimum wage, trying to raise their families in a healthy safe environment. In order to do that they need the affordable housing that Indian Field provides. Indian Fields has a community house where the Indian Field Community can come together to socialize, have continuing ed classes, life enrichment programs, and much more. In addition to the above, New Milford Affordable Housing is active in the community, lobbying for legislation that supports those in need of housing, participating in other outreach programs and groups. https://nmaffordablehousing.com/photos daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1617034334377-IWE7CX1GM9YTB38NWTC4/tie+shoe.jpg photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1617033693803-XNWGT5BMG9S12NVO1N75/Affordable_housing.jpg photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1612666320611-3RC6P1AFKCRWKS95BX63/house+in+hand.jpg photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1612665812357-TCL0556RS3S257Z0L4Q5/635744494515070000.jpg photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1612653240166-8P7WEM1WURAJ141FVMPI/supportive+housing.jpg photos https://nmaffordablehousing.com/nmahhome daily 1.0 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769380104599-WYC8RP5KY4Q710ABAUO9/unsplash-image-vZ7DECggzA0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/d1c70dbb-f802-4045-bc6c-e41ade1f329c/unsplash-image-gS7BU-P69LE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769547571986-PDQRV3E7DOPWFL7WBJQY/unsplash-image-UOwvwZ9Dy6w.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769547526743-QA1DSQT2AK9WJO5OJEVD/unsplash-image-K0E6E0a0R3A.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769547807452-0U5AR7AJ7DF1L41QY20B/unsplash-image-4le7k9XVYjE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769548108484-83PDL6EUK7319B1P5ZCG/unsplash-image-89bQBucvJdw.jpg https://nmaffordablehousing.com/impact-an-strategy daily 0.75 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/20981fe6-4e40-4fed-ba77-abc6cd38bc19/unsplash-image-mUx9T10RbsQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769880215694-P8OPSJNQ0OYUCHJVC011/unsplash-image-Ds0ZIA5gzc4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/46d33c57-95f7-469a-9497-24f651b2e8c0/unsplash-image-CeZypKDceQc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769881330038-WB01O1OJ3MJDKPY1NGJQ/unsplash-image-Iy3OdKaszJs.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769881435477-CM1HHTPVM7HUAF28TL2C/unsplash-image-1-aA2Fadydc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/20981fe6-4e40-4fed-ba77-abc6cd38bc19/unsplash-image-mUx9T10RbsQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1769882480484-5F23YU74WQR7ZQDRNYDE/unsplash-image-UOwvwZ9Dy6w.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/d1c70dbb-f802-4045-bc6c-e41ade1f329c/unsplash-image-gS7BU-P69LE.jpg https://nmaffordablehousing.com/mission-goals daily 0.75 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1771094516958-GVLH0YOSE0VX9TKLHJM2/unsplash-image-McJI-4Pxe5I.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1612723361294-S8BT5OHQDWEL5LN4UIR5/IMG_3208.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1612724765085-NV3TXEJVM79ZI8QXUAI4/Indian+Field.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1771095282869-GIWCRMJD3H08MOLQ6U0U/unsplash-image-3WgkTDw7XyE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1771095309693-OHC5IKD51J3B4EFYS8P8/unsplash-image-PAGBeJrLiDA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601f038010894c54832910d1/1771095777418-DKFENEYEPW53IZYHLZAP/unsplash-image-I9meM8YQ9DM.jpg https://nmaffordablehousing.com/stories daily 0.75 2023-05-11 https://nmaffordablehousing.com/stories/stories monthly 0.5 2023-05-11
