A New Affordable Housing Neighborhood begins in Milton! |
 Breaking Ground in Milton Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity and hundreds of volunteers have begun
work on our largest project to date, 5 affordable homes in Milton. We have
broken ground and the construction of the first three of the homes has started. However, we must raise funds and volunteers during the course of construction
to complete this multi-year, multi-family project.
Local Lutheran churches, the Thrivent organization, and Lowes are sponsoring
individual homes. GE Healthcare (formally IDX) has stepped up as a sponsor
by offering hundreds of man hours of service. The Vermont Housing and Conservation
Board has given us grants, to help meet the drastic need for simple, decent,
and affordable housing in our community.
We are very grateful to these sponsors and to our individual volunteers and
donors. However,
we still need to raise funds to cover project costs. Due
to the size of the Milton neighborhood, we’ve had to pay impact fees and
infrastructure costs that were not part of our other smaller projects. Please
help us meet our goal of raising the $900,000 needed to build these homes. Your
donation puts a roof over the head of our partner families, as much those who
swing the hammers. Donate today! |

About Green Mountain Habitat |
 2 of our younger partners build sweat equity for their family For more than 20 years, Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity has helped to change the lives of local families through simple, decent and affordable housing. We are an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity based in Chittenden County, Vermont.
Habitat for Humanity, a worldwide organization, has built more then 250,000 homes over 26 years. Habitat recipients give 200 hours of sweat equity per adult (up to 400 hours) to build homes, then purchase them at cost with no interest loans, that in turn build more Habitat houses. We call it a hand up.
