The Berkshire Eagle

Nate Harrington is currently the housing reporter for The Berkshire Eagle. He covers an array of housing issues, focusing on affordable housing and the overarching issues the housing crisis causes for the county.

Berkshire County has a 2,000 unit housing shortfall and — before a statewide and state-supported push to develop housing — a dearth of projects in the construction pipeline. But state support has spurred a number of housing developments in the county, and the 2024 Affordable Homes Act out of the state legislature overhauled many facets of the state’s housing world.
