Story Behind the Curve
In 2016, the Building Homes Together (BHT) campaign launched with the support of well over a hundred municipal officials, businesses, nonprofits, Legislators and individuals. The BHT campaign set a target of creating 3,500 new homes in Chittenden County over the next five years, with 20% of them permanently affordable. Those goals translate to 700 new homes per year, with 140 homes affordable.
Why Is This Important?
Our community is suffering from a housing shortage. It shows up in a variety of ways: Employers are having a difficult time hiring, people are paying too much rent, people are buying home further away from their jobs, and there aren't enough housing options available for all parts of the market.
