JOIN OUR WAITLIST
The Town of West Newbury monitors a number of affordable homes pursuant to the Local Initiative Program, and from time to time these homes become available for purchase. The Town maintains a waitlist for persons interested in purchasing an affordable home. If you would like to join the list please send an email to townmanager@wnewbury.org with the subject heading "Affordable Home Waitlist". Please include the following information in the email: First and Last Name, Telephone Number, Email Address, and Number of Persons in Your Household. Because the eligibility requirements (regarding household income, assets, etc.) change from time to time, review and screening for eligibility would not take place unless and until any unit or units may become available.
