We are deeply grateful for the dedication of the Kennebunkport Resort Collection, KRC, to the Kennebunkport community! KRC has donated $20,000 to KHHT to help us get started on our next neighborhood. Thank you KRC for your continued support and belief in the importance of obtainable housing! |

Join us for our third annual Scoop Off on Thursday, August 24. We are excited to be the guests of the amazing Kennebunkport Parks & Recreation for the second year - the KPT Parks & Rec team know how to throw a party!
There will be live music, food and beverage trucks, and kids can bounce and have their face painted. And, of course, everyone can eat lots of ice cream generously donated by Ben & Jerry's and Goose Rocks Dairy.
The event starts at 6:00 pm at 25 School St, and will finish around 8:00 pm - a perfect way to relish the final weeks of summer!

1st KHHT Pickleball Classic a Success! |
The 1st Annual KHHT Pickleball Classic was an amazing event! Players came from near and far to compete for the gold, silver, and bronze.
Despite the rain and heat there were smiles on every court and excitement to do it again next June. Thank you to our tournament director Chris Humphrey and to our volunteers for making everything run smoothly!
Mark your calendars for next year's tournament - Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23, 2024.

We are incredibly fortunate to have supportive businesses that help us meet our mission! Throughout June, and coming again in September, The Nonantum made their commitment clear with a special fundraiser for KHHT.
When you stay at The Nonantum in the month of September, Monday through Thursday, you can donate $35 or more to KHHT, and the Nonantum will take 20% off of your room rate. It's a true win-win!

Clarifying our Mission and Vision |
|
|
The KHHT Board adopted a new mission and vision statement as part of ongoing strategic planning work. Part of ensuring that our organization succeeds in bringing much needed obtainable housing to our community is to make sure our own "house" is in order through thoughtful planning. Let us know what you think of our new mission and vision!
The mission of the Kennebunkport Heritage Housing Trust is to sustain Kennebunkport as a year-round community by providing housing accessible to working families and seniors.
Our vision is a Kennebunkport that is a vibrant, multigenerational, diverse community where citizens raise their families, support our schools, volunteer with their neighbors, enrich our workforce, and contribute to our treasured quality of life.
We will achieve our mission and vision through the dedicated efforts of our board and staff and with the support of residents, the business community, philanthropic funders, and public resources that share our vision. We will join our fellow local nonprofits in being a trusted member of the community and a valued steward of the public’s trust by creating and sustaining attainable housing.
