A new campus comprised of three modular homes on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts will provide a retreat for up to 27 residents recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, as mvgazette.com tells MHProNews. The result of a $3 million capital campaign, two homes will be for men and one for women, as they work through the 12-step program in conjunction with Martha’s Vineyard Community Services. The open house was held to show the progress of the project which is anticipated to be ready for occupancy by Christmas. The modular homes are energy efficient and LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), and are being built by Woody Mitchell of Squash Meadow Construction who is working with Westchester Modular Homes. As MHProNewsdocumented July 24, 2013, modular homes, called med cottages, are being sited for seniors adjacent to adult childrens’ homes instead of nursing home care, as well as to house disabled people. ##
