In the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee region, a projected need for 3,800 to 4,600 new housing units by 2020 highlights a critical housing shortage. With an estimated 10% of these units expected to be rentals, the recent development of 598 units over the past decade has not sufficiently met demand. New projects such as Emerson Place and the Bridge/Main initiative in White River Junction aim to address this gap, emphasizing the importance of availability and affordability in enhancing community quality of life and economic stability.
