For members of the Cranberry Island Realty Trust (CIRT), the three years spent negotiating the movement of two modular homes to the Great Cranberry Island off the coast of Maine has reached fruition. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult for people to make homes out here year round when they can’t afford to buy homes, or even find places to rent. So, this is really what it’s all about, it’s just giving opportunities to people to establish homes and lifestyles out here and save, hopefully save the community,” said Phil Whitney, CIRT President. The goal is to provide affordable housing for two families when the project is finished in a couple of weeks, according to what wabitv.com tells MHProNews.com. CIRT Board member and resident, Bruce Konusin, says, “I had 19 acres here, but I don’t really use it for anything. I thought it would be a good project for the island, and I have nobody to pass it on to, so I just thought I would donate it.” ##
