Artist Housing Certification is closed and will only reopen if new units become available.

In Spring 2016, the new Millbrook development leased five affordable artist live/work units for Somerville artists or artists who demonstrated their work/activity in Somerville.  Rents were either $787 or $1,058 for one-bedroom units and $934 or $1,262 for the two-bedroom unit (the rent will be dependent upon applicant income; their AMI level.)   See images of the floor plans units here.

Somerville’s current zoning includes provisions that certain new development require “artist use.”   If a new development creates “Artist Live/Work”  or “Artist Studio Space” a certification process will accompany those units.   This policy will ensure that development built for artists will retain artists.
