Housing seasonal workforces in Maine presents a variety of challenges, particularly due to the state's reliance on tourism and industries such as hospitality, outdoor recreation, agriculture, and fishing. Rental properties are often prioritized for tourists (vacation rentals like Airbnbs), leaving minimal affordable housing for workers. Because housing needs fluctuate with seasons, developers are hesitant to invest in long-term solutions that may not generate year-round revenue.
This is where Main Season Housing Solutions comes in. We can provide exceptional housing solutions for your seasonal staff for a minimum duration of four months.
