Family Support Program
Addison Housing Works mission is to enrich the lives of low- and moderate-income people of Addison County by ensuring the development, management, and maintenance of safe, quality, affordable homes and related support for families, seniors and individuals. Back in 2020, thanks to the support of several generous donors, AHW developed a pilot program to provide a new level of support for its residents to help them successfully remain in their new homes.
The Family Support Services staff work with residents to ascertain needs and assist in identifying and accessing applicable services offered by partner agencies as appropriate to prevent eviction and homelessness. The family support staff has an in-depth knowledge of the services available from community organizations including but not limited to HOPE, CVOEO, John Graham Housing & Services, Turning Point Center, DCF, Vermont State Housing Authority, Counseling Service of Addison County, Atria (formerly Women Safe) and the Parent Child Center; attend meetings with partner agencies and collaboration groups as required.
