Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity (BBAHFH) announces three single-family homeownership opportunities. Applications will be available as of Nov. 15, 2026, for three Habitat for Humanity homes. The homes will be located at 1256 and 1268 Pleasant St. and 59 Merrimac St. in New Bedford. The application deadline is 1/20/27.
BBAHFH will hold two public information sessions to advise the community of its plans to construct three single-family homes each having three-bedrooms and 1 ½ bathrooms. The homes will be sold to first-time homeowners who are income eligible (earning 30 to 60 percent of the city’s median income) at an affordable price of $250,000. A deed restriction will be attached to each property ensuring that the homes will remain affordable.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend one of the informational sessions, where applications will also be handed out. The sessions will take place on Sunday, November 15 at 5:00 p.m. and Monday, November 16 at 6:00 p.m. at the Waypoint Event Center – Fairfield Marriott located at 185 MacArthur Drive in New Bedford.
General information about qualifying for a Habitat home is available on the website: www. BuzzardsBay Habitat.org under the homeownership tab. Applications may also be requested by calling the Habitat office 508.758.4517 or emailing BuzzardsBayAreaHabitat@yahoo.com to have an application mailed to you.
