The state office of housing and livable communities announced the funding on Monday, granting $2.1 million to the project on Bellevue avenue.

A veteran housing project planned for Bellevue avenue in Oak Bluffs could break ground by next May after getting approval from the town’s zoning board of appeals this week. 

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission this week declined to send a proposed Oak Bluffs veteran affordable housing complex to a full public hearing, helping fast track the project in its attempts to get funding. 

A veterans housing project in Oak Bluffs received select board approval Tuesday and is set to welcome bids from contractors.

Oak Bluffs is set to begin evaluating a proposal for a first-of-its-kind housing complex on the Island dedicated to Vineyard veterans.
