Mission
Cranberry Isles Realty Trust is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving the Town of Cranberry Isles.
We provide affordable housing for those wishing to live on Great Cranberry or Islesford year-round. We aim to halt the loss—in fact, increase—the number of working year-round families on the islands. This will strengthen the island community and economy, helping to sustain a way of life, both now and into the future.
Affordable Housing Available!
CIRT's Rice House on Great Cranberry Island is available for rent at $600 per month, plus utilities. more...
Activities
The CIRT Board manages three affordable rental houses and holds sales covenants on one year-round home. Our exciting new Growing Great Cranberry project aims to build two new affordable rental houses on Great Cranberry Island.
