MIDDLEBORO — Plans for transitional housing at 332 Marion Road are back on, according to owners of the property, with an opening eyed for February.

The 77-bed facility would house people who were formerly incarcerated, aged out of foster care or facing housing insecurity, according to Jason McLeod, who owns the building with Meredith Ruff.

This would be the second attempt at the project. Last fall, the home was within weeks of opening when a collaboration with a Brockton-based non-profit fell through.

No occupancy permit has been issued for the project as of Tuesday, Jan. 10, Middleboro Town Manager James McGrail said. “The town is awaiting more information about the project from the applicant,’’ McGrail said. 

McLeod said he is “working with departments toward that end’’ and hopes to host a ribbon cutting Feb. 2. 

Moving Mountains, the corporation name of the facility, is teaming up this time with a non-profit organization called ACT, which stands for Ascension Career Training. 

A key component of this transitional housing is its connection to career training, McLeod said. He is making connections with area businesses that would train residents in a variety of career skills, he said.

These jobs will offer a “livable wage,’’ McLeod said, with $22 an hour paid during training.

The educational component would allow the house to be located in a largely residential area. Massachusetts state law allows for properties designated for various uses, including education, to be exempt from local zoning regulations. 

Some neighbors have expressed concerns about the house and potential security issues. Ruff has said that the house would be well-kept and well-supervised, with both the house and a home connected to the property across the street staffed at all times with professionals trained in dealing with situations the clients might be facing. 

“We’re not naive to think there are not going to be problems,’’ she has said. But by hiring the right staff, she said they are staying ahead of potential issues.

The house will not accept sex offenders or anyone with a criminal history involving children, she said. No substance use or weapons are allowed on site and anyone breaking these rules will immediately be expelled, she said.

Opening houses are tentatively scheduled for Jan. 19 from 3-6 p.m. by invitation only for social service agencies involved in the project  and from 4-6 p.m. Jan. 24 for the general public.
