Transitional Housing Program

The mission of Fair Tide is to provide short-term affordable housing in a safe, dignified setting for people who are homeless. Fair Tide, with help from the community, provides advocacy, support and referrals to assist our residents in their move toward permanent housing and financial stability.

Participants accepted into the Fair Tide program reside at the Center for Sustainable Living, located on Wentworth Street in downtown Kittery, Maine.

The Center for Sustainable Living is comprised of a beautifully renovated, energy-conserving apartment building, a resource library, flower and vegetable gardens, and children's play area. The Center is within a mile of public transportation, the public library, a laundromat, the post office, a pharmacy, a park, and downtown Portsmouth.

Center for Sustainable Living residents live for up to two years in one of the five apartments while participating in the programs and services of Fair Tide.
