The first proposed Falls Village Housing Turst, Inc. (FVHT) is a 16 unit affordable rental housing development that will be all new construction with high energy efficiency and a focus on sustainability.  The FVHT is a local 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization with the mission of providing affordable housing in the Town of Canaan (Falls Village).  In order to ensure the required experience and expertise, FHVT has selected Paul B. Bailey Architect and Housing Enterprises, Inc. as the project architect and housing consultant, respectively. 

This project has received Department Of Housing (DOH) Predevelopment Loan funding. The project is being designed to comply with CHFA/DOH requirements and complies with the requirement of the Falls Village Incentive Housing Zone (IHZ) Zoning Regulations. 

Because of the rural location in Falls Village, the project is being designed with on-site water and septic. We anticipate full town approvals in September 2020, and the project can be ready for a full funding application in the fall of 2020.
