Resident Profile: Ben & Lilian
Ben and Lilian and their four children have lived at Brick Hill Townhouses in South Portland since 2010. Ben is a home care worker with Maine Behavioral Health and Lilian is a special projects coordinator for The Opportunity Alliance WIC program.
Both parents appreciate how ideal the Brick Hill community is for families with children. “I like how the area is situated,” says Lilian. “There are no busy streets; it’s really quiet. For all our children, this is their home. This is their neighborhood.”
Affordable Homes in Development
From the purchase of land to resident occupancy, each property Avesta Housing builds is the result of a years-long process. As of December 31, 2023, our robust pipeline included over 800 homes across 19 properties and more than $300 million in development costs. This pipeline is the result of a concerted effort, through strategic investments and partnerships, to accelerate development in response to the housing crisis.
