Windham & Windsor Housing Trust is proud to share our newly released 2025 Annual Report, highlighting a year of significant progress in expanding housing opportunities, preserving existing homes and supporting residents throughout southeastern Vermont.

“As national priorities increasingly overlook the lived realities of rural communities, we remain focused on practical solutions that help people find stability and opportunity,” says Windham & Windsor Housing Trust Board Chair Leo Schiff. “For us, affordability is not a buzzword. It is at the core of our work and our response to address the cost-of-living crisis experienced by so many families today.”

The report highlights a year of substantial progress in creating permanently affordable homes in 2025. And features stories from residents and clients across our two-county region. Read the full report and impact stories on our website: www.homemattershere.org/delivering-our-mission/

VT wants your feedback on Vermont’s draft 802 Homes designs! As part of the Homes for All initiative, the State of Vermont is developing a catalog of ready-to-build home designs that aim to make housing easier, faster, and more affordable to build across the state. The designs range from small single-family homes to duplexes and four-unit homes inspired by Vermont neighborhoods and communities.

We’re now inviting Vermonters to review the draft concepts and share feedback through a short statewide survey. Your input will help refine the designs before they move into final construction documents and statewide release this December.

The 802 Homes Design Preference Survey will be open through June 19th (Juneteenth): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc514k8Rn0fTnDYqrDtUnF1OwK6DvFTIiXWmpmFl3_GTvmsrw/viewform?pli=1&pli=1

Below is an example of what the survey asks for feedback on.

Please feel free to share this survey with friends, neighbors, colleagues, and anyone interested in Vermont’s housing future. Head to the website to learn more about 802 Homes and the Homes for All initiative.
