Your Support Opens Doors…for those we rely on to live, work, and go to school year-round on MDI.

From the classroom to the hospital, from our homes to our harbors—MDI depends on people who are here year-round. But more and more, those who keep this island running are finding it harder to stay.

Together, we’re not just building housing—we’re making room for the people who make this island home.

A few words from a Homeowner

“Without Island Housing Trust, we may have had to re-locate and move our family off Mount Desert Island. With our families close by, we want to raise our children here. Our children benefit from the excellent school system. Each of us have a short commute to work on the Island. Island Housing Trust has helped us keep our mortgage affordable.”
