"I’m a native Vermonter, I grew up in North Ferrisburgh. I lived in the city of Vergennes for 13 years before I moved to Bristol. I have been a full time professional cosmetologist for almost five years. I work at the Supercuts Williston location. I decided to apply for [Addison Housing Works] because they were recommended to me from people that had experience working with them. My life has changed in the best way possible since finding my home because I feel like I have a safe and comfortable place to come home to every night. I would like the community to know that affordable housing is a great opportunity for anyone looking into their first home."

The November Board meeting has been moved to Thursday December 7, also at 4pm at the National Bank of Middlebury main branch or via Zoom. This will be the final meeting of 2023. Regular monthly Board meetings will resume the 4th Thursday of the month at 4pm as of January 25, 2024. Whenever we can, Addison Housing Works strives to go the extra mile to ensure our residents have safe, decent, affordable housing. In our manufactured housing communities (MHCs), residents own their own homes, so this can mean helping homeowners apply for grants to make repairs and energy efficiency upgrades.
The process was labor intensive and took several months, including a site visit to assess Joyce's home. Finally, through Weatherization, Joyce received all new appliances as well as MHIR funds to upgrade her hot water heater, flooring, and electrical.
Thank you to the hundreds of neighbors, friends, family and residents who came out to support affordable housing at Addison Housing Rocks! We gathered on the Town Green in Middlebury to celebrate our accomplishments, raise awareness about the housing crisis, and launch our new name and logo to better represent our work in the community. The event was a great success--not only did we have a ton of fun, we also raised over $35,000 for affordable housing! Thank you so much for your support--we couldn't do what we do without it, and it always inspires us to do more. Thanks to generous volunteers from Middlebury Rotary and plans from Jason Larocque of Otter Creek Engineering, families at Lindale Manufactured Housing Community now have a new place to play! A brand new swing set and picnic table are sure to bring smiles to many. Lindale is also undergoing a major upgrade to its septic infrastructure with the installation of a $3.5 million community septic system, ensuring that kids can safely enjoy this playground for years to come.
