Partner: Addison County Community Trust, Housing Vermont
Opened in March 2012 in Vergennes, the Armory Lane property offers 25 one- and two-bedroom rental units to low- to moderate-income elderly residents. The new Medicare-funded program Services and Support at Home (SASH), aimed at keeping seniors housed rather than in a hospital or nursing home, helps Armory Lane offer quality care to its residents. The building has a full-time service coordinator and an on-site team, including a home health specialist, mental health specialist, and a nurse who is on site ten hours each week. This helps foster a sense of community, as it keeps residents healthy and turnover low. Armory Lane Housing also serves as a meal site twice a week.
