Why This Matters

With the median home price in Becket rising to $352,100 (Berkshire Realtors Market Watch 2024), affordable homeownership has become increasingly out of reach for many. Thanks to the support of Becket’s Community Preservation Committee and the state’s Rural and Small Town Grant Program, this initiative will help a local family achieve the dream of owning a home.

Informational Sessions
