2/29/24 - LD 1505 was signed into law on February 29th. This bill amends the Maine Cooperative Affordable Housing Ownership Act to include group equity cooperatives. It also provides that a housing assistance program must be made reasonably available to residents of housing cooperatives. Raise-Op was a leader for the passage of this bill.
10/31/23 - Both of our new buildings are fully occupied! To learn more about the design of our new passive house buildings, see floor plans, and request the architectural drawings, visit our webpage Passive House Triple Decker.
The development is the result of an investment partnership between the Raise-Op and Evernorth, a regional syndicator of affordable housing, with financing from MaineHousing. Lewiston Housing will provide property management services, and Raise-Op staff will provide the resident services. Below is a slideshow of images of the development of Blake & Walnut, starting with our residents programming the building.
