Adam Marks, a homeowner and landlord from Northampton, gives to Way Finders every month—knowing that by the end of the year, his donations add up enough to qualify for the Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC). This state program provides tax credits for contributions to local nonprofits that create and maintain affordable housing, making it a smart way to give back while supporting the community.

As a landlord, Marks knows the value of stable, fair housing. “Because I am able, I want to give back some of my housing benefits and create more through monthly giving,” he explained.

Housing costs are too high for many residents of Hampden and Hampshire counties, and organizations like Way Finders play a critical role in developing and managing quality, multi-family housing. By supporting these efforts, Adam helps multiply the impact—bringing more homes, jobs, and stability to families across the community.

And thanks to the CITC program, he receives 50% of his contribution back in state tax credits. “If the state is offering this good deal,” Marks said, “why not help Way Finders and the local economy take advantage of those dollars?”

He encourages other homeowners and small landlords to follow his lead: “You can only do so much with your own property. But supporting Way Finders turns your contribution into a force multiplier—creating quality, affordable housing and local jobs.”
