Founded in 1972 with a shoestring budget and a staff of three, Avesta Housing has grown to become one of the country’s most innovative and respected leaders in affordable housing.
Known as York Cumberland Housing before changing its name in 2003, Avesta Housing originated when two Maine Community Action agencies joined to focus on affordable housing problems. With steady growth over the subsequent four decades, Avesta has assets of $180 million, an annual operating budget of over $26 million and a staff of approximately 100 employees. Avesta owns and/or manages more than 1,900 apartments and operates an assisted living facility in Gorham licensed for 37 residents.
