Progress continues at Compass Point, Midcoast Habitat’s 10-home pocket neighborhood in Rockport. We are currently working on the first 5 homes, with construction moving forward thanks to the support of volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners.
This spring, Compass Point was also the site of our 2026 Women Build. Over 160 volunteers joined us across 10 shifts and 7 build days, helping advance the first homes from foundations to floors, walls, and insulation. Together, participants and sponsors raised nearly $15,000 in support of safe, affordable housing in Knox County.
When complete, Compass Point will provide 10 energy-efficient, permanently affordable homes for local families earning 30–80% of area median income. Homeowners will purchase their homes through Midcoast Habitat’s affordable mortgage model, with monthly housing costs designed to remain within 30% of household income.
Compass Point represents an important step forward in addressing the urgent need for affordable housing in Knox County. We are grateful to everyone helping bring this neighborhood to life.
