These units were constructed in partnership with the Town of Guilford, which leased these 4 acres of land at $1/year to MHA in return for the provision of 13 affordable housing units for 99 years. The development consists of ten units restricted at 50% AMI, one unit at 60% AMI, and two units at 80% AMI, with unit sizes ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedroom units.

These services include first time homebuyer education, ready to rent, budget coaching, youth programs, and case management services. Hubbard Woods has shown consistent occupancy during its eighteen year lifespan. All units underwent minor rehabilitation in 2017, with brand new floors, kitchen cabinets and countertops, Energy Star appliances, bathroom vanities, appliances, windows, decks, paving and landscaping.
