1 house saved from demolition and renovated to be an affordable home for a first-time buyer

$190,000 bridge loan

This historic 1853 home was set to be demolished to make way for a condo development when the Bayside Neighborhood Association realized they could both save the house and offer it at an affordable price to a income-eligible first time home buyer.  In March 2006, the Genesis Fund helped with a bridge loan to help complete the project.
