Library Commons Phase II (LC2) is the next stage of Way Finders’ transformational efforts in Holyoke, building on the community energy and revitalization started by the public library renovation and our Library Commons Phase 1 project. LC2 will consist of 41 affordable units on 5 sites, through the rehab of one vacant building (circa 1888), and the construction of three new townhome-style buildings. 

Project Highlights
41 units on 5 sites
23 units will be for households with incomes at or below 60% AMI
18 units will be reserved for those with incomes at or below 30% AMI
Property Management Office on-site and Coordindated Resident Services 
One block from the Holyoke Public Library; accessible to public transportation and other amenities; walking distance to Lawrence Elementary School

Timeline
Way Finders has acquired the properties and plans to complete construction by September 2025.
