NeighborWorks Housing Solutions Thankful to Curtis Construction Co.

NeighborWorks® Housing Solutions (NHS; www.nhsmass.org), the leading housing service provider in southern Massachusetts, has a true friend in John Curtis, president of Curtis Construction Co. and the entire Curtis Construction Company. (www.curtiscon.com).

In addition to assisting with the construction of a number of NHS properties over the years, including the most recent Lower Winter Street development, which provides 18 affordable studio apartments for individuals who experienced homelessness, the long-time friend and supporter has organized fundraising events with his local hockey team, and dropped off personal care items and meals for veterans living in NHS housing.

“Community is at the very core of what our company’s values,” said John Curtis, president, and founder of Curtis Construction. “Over the years we have had numerous opportunities to branch out into other types of projects and markets farther away, but we chose to focus our attention on affordable housing projects in our local market. We feel strongly that these clients who perform such important work in our community really need our personal attention, especially on the most complex of projects. There is so much at stake. Working with NeighborWorks and Rob Corley has given us the opportunity to create affordable housing for people who really need it and stay true to our values of supporting our community.”

Curtis Construction Co. was the lead sponsor again this year at the NHS Annual Mulligan Tournament, which raised funds for veterans and their families being served by NHS housing and programs. The golf tournament took place on Friday, June 9th at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton, and was a huge success thanks in part to John and Curtis Construction.

“Curtis Construction and John Curtis have been a friend and supporter of NHS for a long time” said Robert Corley, CEO of NeighborWorks Housing Solutions. “His giving spirit, service to the community, and compassion for vulnerable populations is exceptional. This is evident in both his professional and personal life. He and Curtis Construction have an incredible reputation, and we are grateful to them for their partnership and support.”

Founded in 1998, Curtis Construction Co., provides general contracting, construction management and design-build and due diligence services to private developers and nonprofit organizations located throughout Massachusetts and Southern New England. The company has been a strong player in the multifamily/affordable and market rate sectors for over two decades and is known for its commitment to eliminating homelessness, reducing poverty, and increasing educational and employment opportunities for the disadvantaged.
