Lunch & Learn: Catalyst Housing Lottery

The Haven Project is committed to addressing youth homelessness through innovative housing solutions. Catalyst Housing, opening in Spring 2025, will provide 23 studio apartments for extremely low-income individuals aged 18-24, with units allocated through a fair housing lottery. Applications for the lottery will open in early 2025, with a submission deadline of January 15th, 2025. Eligibility will be based on age, income, and housing need, with details and timelines available closer to launch.
In Fall 2024, we launched The Nest, offering 8 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units, a community room, and on-site services. Supported by the YHDP grant, The Nest also includes 16 Rapid Re-Housing vouchers to help young adults transition to permanent housing.
These initiatives reflect our mission to create stability and opportunity for youth in need.

He likes to say that “thinking creatively inside the box is key to success in any project.” With vast experience working on community-driven, urban real estate projects, real estate isn’t just his job, it’s his passion-and it shows.

Previously the Director of Real Estate at Urban Edge, Noah’s experience spans product types including market rate and affordable housing, office, retail, and community facilities throughout Greater Boston. Noah is a graduate of Syracuse University, holds a Masters of City Planning from MIT, and is a LEED Accredited Professional.
