While New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, and many officials in the Hudson Valley, have bemoaned the affordable housing crisis, there are not many affordable housing projects being built. But the Berkshire Eagle has two stories about affordable housing projects coming soon in Western Massachusetts. Great Barrington recently approved Habitat for Humanity's affordable housing project with 20 homes to come off Route 41/North Plain Road. And another developer is proposing a second affordable housing complex in Lenox, just north of his current Brushwood Farm project. That plan, if approved, would add 65 rental apartments in five townhouses. See the Berkshire Eagle for more details about these stories.
