Congratulations to @PCF_Development for the opening of Central Development, a mixed-used, mixed-income housing project that brings 62 much-needed affordable homes and community space to sites throughout Central Falls and Pawtucket.

Thank you to everyone who was in attendance.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

We’re putting shovels in the ground to build more housing across our state.

Today, the momentum continues in Manville with 72 new units on the way.🪏

[RIHousing @RIHousing]

We were happy to be part of the groundbreaking of The Village at Manville, which will bring individuals and families an affordable place to call home in Lincoln. The Village will consist of 72 apartments located in three buildings beside St. James’ Church.

[RIHousing @RIHousing]

Over the last few days, we joined @CrossroadsRI and @1_neighborhood to celebrate new projects that have broken ground: Crossroads Health & Housing and Broad Street Homes.

Thank you to the federal, state, and local leaders & development partners who make these projects possible.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

Rhode Island is making real progress in expanding our housing supply—from affordable units, to market rate homes, to permanent supportive housing like @CrossroadsRI’s new Health & Housing Apartments.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

Rhode Island will always stand for love, equality, and inclusion.

To our LGBTQ+ community: Rhode Island sees you, values you, and stands with you. #PrideMonth🏳️‍🌈

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

🌈 Last night the State House was lit to celebrate Rhode Island’s LGBTQ+ community. Happy Pride, Rhode Island!

[Quonset @QuonsetRI]

It's been nine months since crews drove the first piles at the Port of Davisville's new Terminal 5 Pier, and construction hasn't slowed down! We can't wait to open this new berthing space later this year.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

Two great projects under one roof—Pandemic Recovery Funds are helping build a centralized rescue station and a community learning center in the Town of Lincoln.

[RI Executive Office of Housing @RIEOHousing]

In collaboration with @GovDanMcKee, awards were made to two municipalities- @cityofPVD & @CityofEastProv - for the establishment of new emergency hubs to better support RIers experiencing homelessness. We are grateful for their partnership!

As a former Mayor, I know that continued progress on Rhode Island's housing goals depends on action at the local level.

Newport is putting our Municipal Fellows Program to work to drive housing development and advance critical planning efforts. https://t.co/rIhhs4hano

[RI Executive Office of Housing @RIEOHousing]

@GovDanMcKee & the Dept. of Housing announce approximately $1.1M in grants through the Municipal Fellows Program! 8 municipalities received funding to tackle RI’s housing crisis with professionals focused on planning, zoning, & development. Click the link below to learn more!

[Quonset @QuonsetRI]

We kicked off construction last summer on the first new pier at Quonset in nearly 70 years. Today, it's starting to take shape.

We look forward to opening the Terminal 5 Pier to offshore wind service and support vessels and to small businesses later this year.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

My administration has made historic investments in housing development. Progress depends on action at the local level. With the @RIDeptofHousing Municipal Fellows program, we're supporting municipalities to move projects forward and address local barriers to housing production.

[Rhode Island House of Representatives @RIHouseofReps]

Speaker @JoeShekarchi and @SenatorRuggerio joined @GovDanMcKee and the @RIDeptofHousing today announced grant awards to eight municipalities totaling approximately $1.1 million through the Municipal Fellows Program. This program places early-career professionals in roles focused on planning, zoning, and housing development, to support municipal efforts to increase housing production as well as grow the pipeline of planners in the state.

“Addressing Rhode Island’s housing crisis requires an all-hands-on-deck approach. We need municipalities to be our partners in creating more housing, and we also need more professionals in the planning field so that our cities and towns can strategically address zoning and development,” said Speaker Shekarchi. “The Municipal Fellows program addresses both of these objectives and the end result will benefit our entire state.”
