• Avesta Housing cuts the ribbon on new Westbrook apartment building (wmtw.com) — Westbrook seniors now have a new option with Seavey Crossing, a 61‑unit one‑bedroom apartment building for residents 55 and older, where leasing has just opened. Avesta Housing and local officials say the project helps address Maine's housing crunch, and an open house on Saturday will let prospective tenants and families tour the building and learn about rent and requirements.
   

• There are a lot of things people love about Maine. Housing isn't one of them. (pressherald.com) — A Westbrook renter sharing a cramped apartment with roommates illustrates how hard it's become for Mainers to find affordable, decent housing, even with solid incomes. A new statewide survey shows overwhelming concern about housing costs and availability, with residents, advocates, and officials describing rising prices, limited options, and worries about whether younger and lower‑income people can stay in Maine.
