The conversion of a residential house in West Tisbury to workforce housing for a seasonal Christian camp was approved by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission (MVC) last week. The workforce housing was proposed by FOCUS, or the Fellowship of Christians in Universities and Schools. FOCUS, which has operated seasonally on the Vineyard for 50 years, draws up to 700 campgoers from May to August each year to a 30-acre campus to engage with structured activities and leisure time, according to the group’s website.
