Grant King first began thinking about planning while building homes in the mountains of western North Carolina, asking himself, “should we really be building a 4,000 sq. ft. house here?” That interest in the relationship between zoning, design, and natural and built environments led him to study at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (MUP 2010). Grant has worked at SRPEDD ever since, focusing on master plans, economic development, housing production, beautiful and easy-to-understand civic engagement, and commonsense project implementation. Grant loves visiting cities and country sides with his wife, son, and daughter. He also loves working with SRPEDD’s creative, collegial team of Comprehensive Planners and all our professional partners across southeastern Massachusetts.

In 2018 she joined the Old Colony Habitat for Humanity Family Services Committee and has since become their loan originator as well as joining the Board of Directors in 2021. She received her bachelor's degree in accounting from Bryant University.
Old Colony Habitat is looking for future build sites.....

We are available to work with municipalities to identify underutilized city/town owned assets that can eventually be turned into income generating parcels of land that will increase the number of affordable homes and assist the city/town in reaching its goal of having 10% of the housing inventory designated as affordable. By utilizing the State’s Comprehensive Permit Program to further our mission of building decent and affordable housing opportunities, we can often build affordable homes on small parcels of land that are considered to be unbuildable. 

We have built on lots as small as 7,000 sf, but find that parcels greater than 10,000 sf have more potential. Ideally these lots will have access to sewer, gas, water, electrical lines and require minimal site preparation that involve ledge and wetlands. Although we prefer access to sewer, we will not rule out land that requires a private septic system.

Although a majority of our homes are built on parcels in partnership with city and town owned property, we would be thrilled to receive donations from private land owners too.

If you have land that you believe is unbuildable and continue to pay taxes on, please consider a donation to Old Colony Habitat for Humanity and email kimthomas@oldcolonyhabitat.org
