A 20-unit affordable housing development in Vineyard Haven that includes nine acres of protected conservation land is now complete, providing housing security for about 50 Islanders.

The Island Housing Trust was awarded $3.8 million in financing from MassHousing this week, nearly closing the gap needed to complete the affordable and workforce rental project in Tisbury known as Kuehn’s Way.

The Tisbury zoning board of appeals has cleared the way for 20 affordable apartments to be built on State Road in Vineyard Haven.
