"Multi-Family Housing in Kittery" Photo Essay Exhibit On Display Now - Presented by the Kittery Housing Committee
Posted on: August 22, 2023 - 4:21pm
Kittery, and Maine as a whole are in a housing crisis, which means there is a shortage of affordable housing options available to residents and workers of all ages. Throughout the past year, the Kittery Housing Committee has been providing the community with information and resources to help educate, foster dialogue and seek solutions for the challenge of housing insecurity, and affordability.
The newest addition to the Housing Committee’s efforts is the “Multi-Family Housing in Kittery” photo essay exhibit that is now on display and available online. The photo essay exhibit can be seen on display at the Kittery Town Hall, located at 200 Rogers Road and at the Rice Public Library, located at 8 Wentworth Street. The photo essay exhibit can also be viewed online by visiting the Housing Committee page or by clicking here.
This original exhibit explores how multi-family housing is already a part of Kittery’s fabric and currently exists in a number of neighborhoods throughout town. The photographs aim to enrich the discussion about affordable housing and the importance of home for Kittery residents.
