Our members are involved with a number of vital, innovative housing projects to help meet Vermont's demand for affordable housing. Here are some examples:
Bianchi Block Apartments, Montpelier
This development consists of six one-bedroom and two two-bedroom apartments in a three story 1907 building on Bianchi Block in Montpelier. It was a $1.75 million refurbish by CVCLT. The building has previously been home to an auto parts store as well as granite worker housing and social clubs over the years.
Partner(s): Central Vermont Community Land Trust
Funding source(s): 12 different local, state and federal sources.
City's Edge Condominiums, South Burlington
City's Edge condominiums is a 60-unit building that includes 31 homeownership units made permanently affordable through use of a shared appreciation model.
Partner(s): Champlain Housing Trust (previously BCLT), developers Eric Farrell and Dan Morrissey, realtor Bill Desautels of RE/MAX North
Funding source(s): Vermont Community Development Program, sponsored by the City of South Burlington; VHFA; Vermont Housing & Conservation Board; NeighborWorks(r) America; Wells Fargo Foundation
Proctorsville Green Housing Project, Proctorsville
The $3.7 million Proctorsville Green Housing project was successfully completed in February, 2008 and incorporates rental, homeownership and village commercial development into a single project.
The project grew from the Town of Cavendish's concern that rental units in the community were being converted to vacation use, primarily to serve Okemo Mountain skiers.
Sixteen permanently affordable rental apartments and four new homeownership townhouses were created in three separate locations. Two new units of rental housing and four new condominium units were built on land donated by the Town of Cavendish next to the existing Freeman House. The Pollard Block houses eight apartments and two commercial spaces, and four new townhouses were built for purchase.
Partner(s): Rockingham Area Community Land Trust and Housing Vermont
Funding source(s): Project financing has been provided by USDA Rural Development, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, the Vermont Community Development Program, the Preservation Trust of Vermont, NeighborWorks® America and with equity leveraged from the use of federal housing and historic preservation tax credits.
