Green and Healthy Affordable Housing
“Affordable housing should set the standard for residential healthy, net-zero energy design. This project will showcase the feasibility and the power of such an approach.”
– Jay Coburn, CDP President & CEO
Everyone deserves a healthy, comfortable place to live. The CDP is committed to developing and providing housing that is affordable to people who live and work on the Lower and Outer Cape. We are also committed to providing housing that is environmentally sustainable and reduces operating costs.
In partnership with Preservation for Affordable Housing (POAH) and Studio G Architects, the CDP is working on a major affordable housing project on Lawrence Road, Wellfleet. The project aims to establish 46 new townhouse-style units that are high-efficiency, sustainable, and affordable. The Residences at Lawrence Hill, Wellfleet, have been designed according to passive house-building standards. The project is scheduled to break ground in fall 2024 and is designed to achieve nearly net zero in energy consumption, creating a community with a resilient design.
In January 2024, the State of Massachusetts awarded funding for the Residencies at Lawrence Hill. The Residences are designed according to passive house-building standards. It is a new development that will offer affordable housing to serve diverse residents, from seniors and families living on modest incomes to working families and empty nesters seeking to downsize into local, affordable housing. The project is also designed to achieve nearly net-zero in energy consumption, creating a community with a resilient design.
