Our Annual Celebration was full of moments to share. Thank you to all who came and participated! We heard from one of our new shared equity homeowners- how she overcame the odds to find a home she could afford in her home community close-by her mother, we elected new board members, reflected on the significant contributions of our outgoing board members and had the honor of presenting two awards:
🏆Our Partnership Award went to @interactionvt in recognition of their restorative practices and the impact of their work within WWHT’s housing community.
🏆We have the honor of presenting the Tom Yahn Housing Leadership Award every other year given out to a community member who demonstrates a long-term commitment to the preservation and development of affordable housing and/or to the lives of those who live in affordable housing. This year Laura Chapman of Putney was the recipient. The award itself was introduced by Vermont State Representative Mike Mrowicki.
“The Tom Yahn Community Award celebrates the spirit of Tom Yahn. Anyone who knew Tom saw his dedication to our community, especially our youth, and the cause of affordable Housing. Tom epitomized that community spirit. That Laura Chapman is this year’s recipient is so appropriate as Laura also epitomized that community support of giving to and serving others."
A special shout out to Brattleboro Museum Art Center for hosting the evening, and event sponsors Neagley & Chase Construction Company, Brattleboro Savings & Loan, Savings Bank of Walpole, Servpro, and Stevens & Associates, P.C.

What is homesharing?
Homesharing is a simple idea where two or more people share a home for mutual benefit.
A person offers a private bedroom and shared common space in exchange for rent, help around the home or a combination of the two.
It differs from a typical roommate situation because, at its core, it is about two people helping each other.
No two homesharing arrangements are alike. Each is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the people involved.
HomeShare Vermont serves the counties of Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Washington, Windham and Windsor and the towns of Brandon, Killington and Pittsfield in Rutland County.
Presented by:
Kayla Bernier-Wright, from Windham-Windsor Housing Trust and HomeShare Vermont
Shari Borzekowski, from the Thompson Senior center and HomeShare Vermont

Thank you Vermont Journal! Springfield area and beyond, please check out this presentation from our own Kayla Bernier-Wright, of Windham & Windsor Housing Trust and HomeShare Vermont; and Shari Borzekowski, of Thompson Senior Center and HomeShare Vermont! They'll have a lot of great information and real stories from people who have shared their homes! It's a great program for using the housing stock that we have to create more affordable opportunities and that decreases social isolation: win-win!
