Numbers-for-Non-Profits Charity!
Our five runners accepted the challenge, not just to run one of the most difficult New England road races –
all 7.2 hilly miles, but to also raise a minimum of $750 each for the Falmouth Housing Trust!
Each one of them exceeded the minimum thanks to their generous sponsors!
We are just $150 shy of our overall goal of $5,000!
The race may be over, but it is not too late to show your support for your runner and the Falmouth Housing Trust.
Use the Donation buttons below to help us achieve our goal!

The Falmouth Housing Trust was organized in 1986 under Massachusetts General
Law as a Community Development Corporation, (CDC) tasked with combating
homelessness and promoting individual home-ownership for persons of low
to moderate income for the Town of Falmouth, and its surrounding areas.
The Trust is an independent non-profit, 501 (C) 3 organization that works
in conjunction with local agencies and Town government.
The Board of Directors is comprised of nine at-large members, with an additional
four board members appointed by the Falmouth Board of Selectmen, the Falmouth
Housing Authority, the Falmouth Human Services Committee, and the Falmouth
Planning Board.
The Trust board acts independently of these Town committees, but does work
in collaboration with them to achieve its goals and objectives through
open dialogue and interaction.
Community Development Corporation
We build 100% affordable, deed- restricted
neighborhoods on town-owned land that blend into their surrounding areas,
with shingle style Cape Cod houses that include a buffer zone of undeveloped
land for independent home-ownership for low to moderate income individuals.
The Gerald Flynn House
We provide advocacy and service provision
through our ownership and operation of the Gerald Flynn House, a 7-bed
SRO, (single room occupancy), for homeless individuals, operated as a drug-free,
sober house through case-management services provided by the Gosnold Treatment
Center that includes preferential placement of U.S. Veterans and Falmouth
residents.
 Monitoring , Collaboration & Counseling
The Trust provides programs, services, advocacy, assistance, and related
activities to promote and support the creation and preservation of affordable
housing for the Town of Falmouth.
Other interests and activities the Trust engages in are economic development,
outreach, education, and real estate development as it relates to affordable
housing for our low to moderate income constituency.
The Falmouth Housing Trust screens
applicants and maintains a ready-to-buy list for when a deed-restricted
property becomes available for sale or resale, and acts as Monitoring Agent
for 40B properties in the Town of Falmouth.
To enhance the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, and the lives of its residents,
by developing and maintaining affordable housing for
the benefit of persons of low and moderate income within Falmouth and adjacent
towns, and thereby: encourage employers to retain and create job opportunities,
particularly for resident young people, and reduce out-migration; and rehabilitate
housing and counteract community deterioration.
 
The Trust built eighteen deed-restricted affordable houses on Esker Place
and Sam Turner Road between the years 1998 and 2001 in Hatchville.
In fiscal year 2007, the East Ridge Road project was completed, adding
six new houses to Falmouth’s growing affordable stock.
These houses were sold to individuals and families of low to moderate
income, providing affordable home-ownership opportunities that otherwise
would not have been available. All twenty-four houses were sold as 100%
affordable, based on an 80% median income in Barnstable County set annually
by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.
