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

Letter from Outreach: Thank you for a sweet afternoon

Saturday afternoon, Dec. 7, 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...

Snow Block Elevator Up and Running, Finally

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...

Board Spotlight: Board Treasurer, Resident Board Member Anne O’Connor Chapman

Anne has been on the WWHT board since 2023 and became Treasurer this year but she’s been deeply involved in the community for years. Anne lives at Putney Landing – just next door to her mother and in the same town as her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. In tight-knit communities, there are often individuals who check in with neighbors, offer support or a kind word when needed. Anne is one of these individuals. Everyone knows Anne and she’s always ready to offer a kind word or a laugh. Anne has been an avid advocate for affordable housing in Putney. We’re very grateful to have her...

Community Matters- A reflection of the community that rallied together during their neighbor’s final days

Elena Luring, SASH For All coordinator in Brattleboro wrote the below reflection on the community at 68 Birge street coming together to support Scott in his final days. This story was written and shared with permission granted by Scott's family. On August 13, Scott received devastating news. He had inoperable lung cancer that had spread throughout his body. Scott lived alone, but his community of neighbors rallied behind him, providing the support he needed to be able to spend his final days at home. He was very grateful for this. In response, to show his appreciation, Scott created eclectic...

Joe Wiah first came to Vermont in 2012 from Liberia to attend the School for International Training in Brattleboro as a graduate student.

It Takes a Village to Feed a Village: The Innovative Food Programs of Windsor’s SASH

This article was originally published in our Fall 2024 print newsletter. Find the fully formatted PDF here. No one goes hungry on Molly Bennett’s watch. Molly is the SASH Coordinator based out of WWHT’s Windsor Village, where, for the last four years, she has helped connect residents and low-income seniors in the community with resources, services and supports that they need to continue to live as independently as possible. That includes bringing healthy food to all who need it. And Molly makes it her business to know exactly who needs it. As the SASH coordinator, Molly spends her days...
