Firefly Field Application Info

PLEASE NOTE: Firefly Field is still under construction, so we are asking that folks DO NOT try to visit the site at the moment, for their own safety as well as the safety of those working. As soon as construction is complete, we will share photos and information on our website.

Homeworthy is accepting applications for Firefly Field apartments starting Tuesday, October 15th, 2024. Applications must be 100% completed with proper documentation in order to be placed on the waitlist. An application is considered complete when all sections are filled out, with copies of all documentation listed below:

  • Release for credit check

  • Social security cards for all household members 

  • Birth certificates for all household members 

  • Photo IDs for anyone 18 years of age

We are unable to accept digital applications, only via mail or in-person drop off. Please mail your applications to Homeworthy, PO Box 1696, Rockland, ME 04841 Attn: Jess Dorr. You can also drop applications off in person at Homeworthy’s office at 169 Old County Rd in Rockport between the hours of Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM.

Homeworthy may prioritize applicants who are currently experiencing homelessness. Applications can be denied for reasons including, but not limited to, incomplete applications, significant findings on a criminal record, or if the applicant is on a sex offender registry. Applicants seeking market-rate rentals must provide proof of sufficient income. Homeworthy defines sustainable income as rent that does not exceed 35% of an applicant's gross monthly income. Homeworthy also welcomes applications from those using Housing Vouchers.

Firefly Field units require a minimum lease term of one year, with Homeworthy conducting safety and security inspections every quarter. Only service animals are allowed. On-site tenant parking is available, and there is limited storage space for each unit. Tenants are responsible for their own telephone, cable, internet services, and any utility usage that exceeds normal levels. Move-in dates are to be determined.

Firefly Field includes two 3-bedroom duplexes (4 units total) and six 1-bedroom cottages. 

Market rent is:

- 3-bedroom: $1,687 per month

- 1-bedroom: $1,114 per month
