Westfield, MA In a joint venture with Peabody Properties, Affordable Housing and Services Collaborative, Inc. (AHSC), a nonprofit organization that owns and develops affordable rental communities, completed a $29 million renovation project at Powdermill Village Apartments at 126 Union St.

AHSC is a member of the owner entity of Powdermill Village Apartments; Peabody Properties serves as the management company for the apartment complex.
