Buy an Affordable Home
There are more than 500 affordable homes in the City of Cambridge. Just-A-Start works with the City of Cambridge to maintain and re-sell these homes to provide affordable homeownership opportunities to more people.
When a current owner decides to sell their home, a new buyer is selected from the Homeownership Resale Pool administered by the City of Cambridge’s Housing Division.
Please visit the City’s website for more information about the affordable homeownership program.
A copy of the homeownership application can be found here.
