Avesta Housing is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to affordable housing and strengthening communities. Founded in 1972 and based in Portland, Maine, it promotes and provides quality affordable homes for people in need. The organization serves individuals and families seeking affordable housing and supports homeownership through its HomeOwnership Center, which offers education and guidance. It collaborates with community groups to support residents, including a meals partnership with Wayside Maine, and has launched programs such as A Path Forward to help previously priced-out residents achieve homeownership. In 2026, Avesta began refurbishing a 40-unit affordable apartment complex in Sanford, Florida, named Patriot Place, illustrating ongoing asset development in affordable housing.
