A stunning day for celebrating breaking ground in West Brattleboro! Thank you to all who came for the groundbreaking event recognizing the first phases of redevelopment on the Chalet property.
The event took place in front of what will be 72 Swan Pond Lane, 31 new homes and the beginning of a transformative neighborhood redevelopment plan. The full redevelopment has been shaped by feedback from current residents, neighbors, municipal officials, and community partners. Planning efforts have focused on improving housing quality, accessibility, safety, and transportation access while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the supportive housing community already located on the site. By bringing together supportive housing, affordable rental apartments, and homeownership opportunities, the redevelopment will create a more diverse and integrated neighborhood while continuing to serve people experiencing or at risk of homelessness through extensive on-site services provided in partnership with Groundworks Collaborative.
“This redevelopment plan reflects our original long-term vision for the property,” said Elizabeth Bridgewater, WWHT’s Executive Director. “When the Chalet was acquired during the pandemic, rehabilitation work was completed on an accelerated timeline to make emergency housing available as quickly as possible. Even then, we envisioned a plan to redevelop the parcel to create higher-quality homes that better met the needs of residents and the broader community. We are excited to break ground today on the initial phase of this redevelopment plan and see our vision turn into reality for the current and future residents.”

For many Vermonters, the biggest hurdle to homeownership is saving enough money to get to the closing table. But that number may be smaller than you think.
Down payment assistance programs, grants and shared equity homeownership can all create different paths to buying a home in Vermont.
Our October blog takes a closer look at the programs available, who may qualify and why connecting with a housing counselor before approaching a lender can pay off.

Register by tomorrow to take part in October's Workshop! Completing the course will check the box for most down payment assistance programs however, the value is even more. Read about what it's all about here: www.homemattershere.org/homebuyer-education-what-its-actually-about/October Home Buyer Education Workshop: Register by this Friday! Most people sign up for a homebuyer workshop for a practical reason: a lender told them they needed the certificate. That’s a perfectly good reason to walk in the door. But it’s almost never the reason people are glad they came.
Here’s what usually happens instead. As the information begins to sink in, a person who has been quietly convinced that homeownership is for other people (people with more savings, better credit, richer parents) realizes the math might actually work for them. Not someday. Now, or within a year, with a specific plan.
That’s what a workshop is really for. Register today for October 17th's workshop here:
