Senator Sanders makes a visit and an amazing award to Ahw

AHW is thrilled to announce that Senator Sanders has nominated our Manufactured Housing Community (MHC) clean water project in Starksboro to move forward in the Federal FY25 budget for $2,500,000! If passed, the funding would help AHW make approximately $10 million in infrastructure upgrades to Lazy Brook, Hillside, and Brookside MHCs. The Congressionally Directed Spending from Senator Sanders would specifically support new wastewater systems to replace 60-year-old cesspools well past the end of their useful life, with benefits ranging from more sanitary conditions for residents, more affordable rents for these disadvantaged communities, and better treatment of wastewater reaching the Lake Champlain watershed.

On July 2, we were lucky enough to receive a visit from the Senator himself, who toured our net-zero MHC in Waltham, McKnight Lane, and spoke to residents at Armory Lane Senior Housing (pictured above). Senator Sanders was instrumental in funding that development in 2010 through the HUD 202 Senior Housing program. We are so grateful for his dedication to permanently affordable housing in Addison County!
