Apartments? No yard? No Garden? I question putting all our efforts into apartment dwelling. We live in a rural State where we can have single family homes with a garden. That has to be a healthier way to live.
We are so relieved to share that the Snow Block building’s elevator has finally been repaired. As many folks know, this elevator has been down for months and the significant delay of the repair has been frustrating for the residents who live in the building as well as their family members and guests who were also impacted by the situation. Although we provided tangible support like shopping and laundry service and door-side trash pickup for those who wanted it, the prolonged period of inoperability simply became unbearable. We understand this and apologize to everyone who has been impacted.
The delay was also deeply frustrating for the Housing Trust staff. After months of missed deadlines and spotty communication from the elevator company, we had to resort to pressure from an outside, third party contractor who had connections through the sales department. It was only when future business was in jeopardy that we saw some forward momentum. Much to our dismay, they were not able to deliver the repair in their stated timeframe and they were again unresponsive to our emails and calls. We finally got the back on track with the help of community member with ties to the media who joined the effort to pressure the company to get the job done.
Who knew it would take a village to get a global corporation to care about residents who live at the Snow Block, but it did. This little village is pretty scrappy and for that I am grateful because it made a big difference. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to help us get their attention and thank you to the Fire Department staff who helped residents with mobility challenges navigate the stairs during these long months. We appreciate all of the support that was provided. Thank you! Thank you!

So glad you wrote this! It’s so important for the community to hear of your hidden, tireless, work.
Great news!
Many thanks to you good folks at WWHT for all you do! And kudos to Connie Snow for the same!
Letter from Outreach: Saturday afternoon, December 7th brought a production of nearly 40 new homes to Windham County - in Gingerbread form – as Windham & Windsor Housing Trust hosted our first-ever Home Sweet Home event. Despite December being an incredibly busy month chock-full of wonderful activities to participate in, we had a good crowd helping us build homes. Our workshop was set up with free home-building kits and candy to decorate, and finished homes and structures were sited on our “designated village center” table, demonstrating compact growth options. Participants left with their creations and two lucky people walked away with tickets to the Nutcracker. The event was a fun and light way to build awareness of our mission to create and support permanently affordable homes in Southeast Vermont. We extend our thanks to community members who came by to take part in this sweet event, and we are so grateful to our sponsors who enable events like this to be entirely free of charge and open to anyone, including Neagley & Chase, Stevens & Associates, Vermont Country Store, Servpro, Mascoma Bank, Brattleboro Savings & Loan, Vermont Integrated Architecture, Stewart Property Management, DEW Construction, Savings Bank of Walpole, Gossens Bachman Associates, and C&S Wholesale Grocers.
Now all that’s left to do is build homes for our community rather than gingerbread people. This should be just as easy, right?
With gratitude, Marion

Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB), the Land Access and Opportunity Board (LAOB), and the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) are looking for public input📢
This survey consists of 9 questions and should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. It aims to gather public input on actions the state could take to incentivize affordable housing in and around downtown and village centers. Your feedback on potential regulatory and policy changes will be included in a report to the General Assembly, helping them find new ways to tackle the state’s housing crisis.
