(Sunderland, MA) MassHousing has given $41.2 million to subsidize affordable housing in a recently purchased mixed income apartment complex off of Route 116 in Sunderland. The apartment complex will be called North 116 Flats and it is owned by Landmark Properties, a Georgia based company. Under the affordable housing guidelines, there will be at least 20 to 25% of the units with long term affordability restrictions. There is high demand for affordable housing in Western Massachusetts and MassHousing is currently subsidizing seven housing communities in Franklin County.
