Testimonials

“Buying a home is super overwhelming, and of course you’ve got your realtor, but it’s good to have somebody else to talk to. Everyone was super friendly, super easy to work with. I really can’t say enough good things about them.”

—Shaunna

“I am so grateful for the opportunities presented by WWHT, for their support of our community, and for making it better. I wish everyone could know about Windham & Windsor Housing Trust.”

—Dora

“Having this apartment matters for us because we can live our lives the way we want to. The fact that my son is able to have his own room, his own things — we’ve both gained a lot of independence.”

—Jessica

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Windham & Windsor Housing Trust to have the vision to move forward with [the Bellows Falls Garage], and be persistent because that’s a building that no one was ever going to touch and work with.”

—Robert

“[The Green Mountain Home Repair Program is] an extremely important resource for the community, and it’s particularly helpful for people who don’t have fantastic credit. If you can’t qualify for anything, you can’t fix your property…. We are just so grateful to WWHT for this program — it allowed us to stay in our home. We belong here, and we are very happy.”

—Gianna

“I’m so happy to have my own apartment — it was one of my goals. It’s good to have your own place, you can think more about life. If I need help, I know people are here for me. This is a good place for me.”

—Mike

Did you tell them about all the problems on your properties?

Bernie Sanders did try to get Patrick organization rural Edge to fix the home improvement fraud but they refused! Peter Welch was worthless!

There is wonderful Patrick Shattuck who refuses to complete three Health orders two by the town and one by the state! 390 Portland Street St Johnsbury Vermont! I withheld my rent and put it in a separate account because of the health orders not done and was given an eviction notice! I was also asked to vacate premises a few days before the state fire Marshal inspection came back to see if everything was done and it wasn't! I asked Patrick to have his property managers leave me alone because my heart was so damaged when they destroyed my home and I was forced to live in it for 5 and 1/2 years and everyone was knew it was toxic because their contractor that did my second mortgage rehab of 10 windows a front door or back door and a picture window and all were supposed to be done to code but he didn't put a header in the entire building and compromise the structural integrity and to get the second mortgage I had to use the state weatherization that also didn't follow code and blew the insulation tight to the roof shading and that caused ice damming that saturated all my walls and they all seem to think it was funny and I have very severe heart damage from 5 and 1/2 years of living in that mess! I'm in heart failure with tachycardia and bradycardia and AFib and they think it's funny to to steal my property and threaten me that they're going to steal my property! The fire department can give you the three Health orders I think they can pull it up on their computer. Patrick is one nasty Dan!!! My healthcare team asked Patrick Shattuck to have consideration because of my heart condition and age of 75 years, the stress was causing afib and many doctors appointments! I also asked Patrick to pull together pieces and the people involved so that I can have my home back and live in my home and not live in their horrible filthy tenement building! Most days I struggle just to make it through!

Windham & Windsor Housing Trust
🚧 March update for Central and Main: The brick work on the building is complete. This includes the the archway along the stairs which will become home to public facing sculptural slate. Thank you to the community for contributing stories and memories to be incorporated into this piece of art. On the interior, the team is getting ready to do “punch lists” on the 1st floor in early April. Punch list is when the team walks through the floor to flag any finishing touches required. The anticipated date for certificate of occupancy for the building is June 5th. We continue to be on schedule and on budget. Finally, we are saddened to say goodbye to our neighbor the The Windsor Diner as they plan their move to their new chapter and location. We’re thrilled they will remain a staple of downtown Windsor and that owner/operator, Theresa will have an updated workspace (without stairs!). It’s been a joy working with Theresa as a neighbor. We learned during the pre-development phase of Central and Main of some of the challenges she was facing with the building foundation. We had planned our design and engineering to accommodate the Diner with a vision that we would be neighbors forever. However, we sincerely look forward to sitting at the counter and chatting with Theresa in her new space. We also look forward to seeing what Windsor envisions for this new space. -- Windham & Windsor Housing Trust and Evernorth are co-developing Central and Main which will be new, highly efficient building in the heart of downtown Windsor. The building will soon be home to 25 residential apartments affordable to a range of moderate and low Windsor incomes. To learn more and to stay up to date, please visit our info page here: https://www.homemattershere.org/central-and-main-windsor/ Our mission is to strengthen the communities of Southeast Vermont through development and stewardship of permanently affordable housing and through ongoing support and advocacy for its residents. 📸 @corephoto
