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

SHAUNNA’S STORY: Finding Hope through Shared Equity Homeownership

Roots That Last: How Shared Equity Keeps Homeownership Affordable — Forever

In Vermont’s tight housing market, the dream of homeownership can feel like it’s slipping further away with every passing year. Prices rise, inventory stays low, and families who’ve lived here for generations find themselves priced out of the communities they helped build. But there’s a model that’s been quietly and powerfully changing that story. It’s called shared equity, and it’s one of the most important tools Vermont has for keeping homeownership within reach, not just for today’s buyers, but for the next generation and the one after that. Windham & Windsor Housing Trust and the...

Summer Starts at Home: Repair and Efficiency Help for Vermont Homeowners

Summer is the season when those nagging home repairs finally feel possible, and help is more available than you might think. Windham & Windsor Housing Trust and the NeighborWorks Alliance of Vermont want homeowners to know: you don’t have to tackle these projects alone, and you don’t have to break the bank to make...

In the News: Apartments planned for Holton Home

By Chris Mayes, Brattleboro Reformer May 25, 2026 BRATTLEBORO — Plans to turn the former residential care facility Holton Home into apartments are moving forward.  Due to financial struggles and staffing challenges in the aftermath of COVID-19, the Garden Path Elder Living Board closed Holton Home in 2022 and consolidated the facility with Bradley House. The site, at 158 Western Ave., was then used to house traveling health care workers.  At a hearing last week, the Brattleboro Development Review Board provided site plan approval for the new plans.  Peter Paggi, director of housing...

What’s HomeShare Vermont? Learn more

Windham & Windsor Housing Trust and HomeShare Vermont launched a partnership to bring this long-standing program to our Southeast region of the state in 2025.

Commentary: Nonprofit leaders want Vermonters to feel safe in their homes

We want Vermonters to feel safe in their homes While Vermont’s visible challenges with drug trafficking maybe happening on streets and in parks, what’s happening inside residential apartment buildings is also putting citizens and their neighbors at risk, largely out of sight. These illegal enterprises are surprisingly often operating under tacit protections from State law and the resulting risks are exacerbated by a lengthy court process that takes months to resolve. And this is putting vulnerable Vermonters in harm’s way. A piece of legislation, H.772, addresses some of these issues....

Is Spring the Right Time to Buy a Home in Vermont?

When the snow starts to melt and the days get longer, something shifts for a lot of Vermonters. Spring feels like the season of possibility, and for many, that includes the possibility of buying a home. But where do you actually start? What can you afford? And is spring really the best time to begin? The short answer: yes. Spring is one of the best times to begin your homebuying journey in Vermont. But not because of interest rates or inventory (though those matter). It’s because getting started now gives you time to prepare, ask questions, and make decisions from a position of...
