We envision our communities as places where
people have decent, safe and affordable housing
that enables them to live secure and productive lives
and where all sectors of society -- public and
private -- help to see that all are sheltered
with dignity.

You will find here:

• some thoughts and resources about the housing problem;
• information and materials about our work;
• guidance for other organizations, town or states interested in developing an ‘apartments-in-homes’ program;
• links to housing data sources and other organizations and programs.

The programs we've developed grew in response to needs we observed in the community. They are modest efforts, but we believe they are making a difference.

We gratefully acknowledge the following people and organizations who have made our work possible through their generous support:

• Faithful individual donors
• Local businesses and organizations
• Our board members, past and present
• Town of Brattleboro
• Town of Vernon
• The Thomas Thompson Trust
• Citizens Bank Foundation
• Merchants Bank Foundation
• Vermont Yankee
• Haymarket Fund
• Vermont Country Store
• Windham Foundation
• Crosby Foundation
• United Way Special Response Fund

Our mission is to improve, increase, and preserve housing affordable to low-income people in the Brattleboro area and to do so in ways that are sustainable, collaborative, and empowering, and that raise public awareness of local housing needs.

 All our work is done by volunteers. We have no staff.
