Addison Housing Works is thrilled to announce that we have received a generous $10,000 grant from The M&T Charitable Foundation in support of our general operations.

This meaningful investment will help strengthen the core of our work, ensuring that individuals and families across Addison County have access to safe, stable, and permanently affordable housing.

The vision of The M&T Charitable Foundation is to partner with communities to impact equitable change, building relationships rooted in trust and understanding. We are honored to be included in that vision and grateful for their commitment to housing as a foundation for thriving communities.
​
As Kathy Schirling, Senior Regional Program Officer for Vermont, shared:

“At M&T Charitable Foundation, we believe that strong communities start with safe, affordable housing. Our support of Addison Housing Works reflects our commitment to helping families and individuals access the stability they need to thrive. Together, we’re building a foundation for opportunity and a brighter future for all.”

This grant will directly support Addison Housing Works’ ability to respond to growing housing needs in our region, maintain and improve our affordable homes, and continue advancing equity through housing development, resident support, and community partnerships.

We extend our sincere thanks to The M&T Charitable Foundation for their generosity and belief in our mission. Support like this helps ensure that more people in Addison County can find not only housing, but the stability and opportunity that come with it.
​
We look forward to sharing the impact of this partnership in the months ahead.
