Check out the Picnic Photos; Update on New Apartments; Join Upcoming Community Events!
Dear CHT Member,
This rainy summer continues and I know many people across Vermont are still dealing with the aftermath of flooding. Although CHT did not suffer flood or rain damage, our friends at Downstreet Housing in Barre did. CHT is lending support, and a few volunteer crews from our staff assisted with clean up, and we'll help recovery efforts statewide in any way we can.
Earlier this month, hundreds of CHT members attended our annual picnic for food and fun. I loved grilling with Board member Antoinette Bennett-Jones and seeing so many of you. Please check out the photos and enjoy!
Here's some great news on the creation of more housing: Braeburn Apartments, the former Ho Hum motel on Williston Road in South Burlington, is entering the final stage of construction, transitioning from a Covid-19 isolation and quarantine facility for people experiencing homelessness to 20 permanently supportive apartments for people formerly unhoused. The apartments will open next month.
And here is more good news: CHT just purchased three former dorms from St. Michael's College at Fort Ethan Allen and construction of 65 apartments has begun. See the feature below for more details.
Thanks for all of your support, and for joining us at our community engagement events this summer.

Strength and Joy in Community!
This summer CHT residents have participated in green up days, a block party, ice cream socials, community dinners, pizza parties, and garden workshops!
The fun doesn’t stop there – we have more pizza parties, ice cream socials, and a lunch event coming up at various properties.
Champlain Housing Trust and development partner Evernorth will convert three buildings in Colchester into 65 affordable one-bedroom and studio apartments, 11 of which are for people exiting homelessness.
Learn more about these beautiful historic buildings and for whom the apartments are being named.
It was a beautiful day at North Beach in Burlington for our Members' Day Picnic. Thank you to all of our residents, homeowners, supporters, Board members and staff who came out to celebrate the CHT community!
And thank you to the volunteers who help make this picnic possible!
