Harborlight to Break Ground on Anchor Point Project

Harborlight Community Partners has announced that Anchor Point, a community of 77 units of affordable family housing, will break ground in June 2021.

Located on 5 acres at the intersection of Tozer and Sohier Roads in Beverly, Anchor Point is a true re-imagining of an affordable community. Anchor Point will provide the region much needed affordable housing for low-earning families, while setting aside 20% of its housing for families who have suffered homelessness. It will be deeply affordable, supporting those earning 60% or less of area median income. 

“This project is coming at a time when the need for high quality, service enriched, and affordable homes has never been more evident,” says Andrew DeFranza, Executive Director for Harborlight Community Partners. “Our region is a beautiful one that remains largely out of reach for people we depend on every day. Anchor Point is essential toward mitigating housing insecurity and equity in our region.” 

Housing at Anchor Point will be built in two phases (38 units and 39 units respectively) and consists of two-and-three-bedroom apartments for families. The community building will be the heart of Anchor Point, an innovation in providing on-site childcare, after school programming, ESL and GED classes, a teaching kitchen, financial counseling, case management and more. In addition to robust programming, it will include many exterior elements such as community gardens, half-court basketball, playgrounds, walking paths, a playing field and more. All of this together is intended to bolster resident health and economic opportunity.
