Changing lives
in Northwest Vermont.
In partnership with financial and ReStore donors, local families, and community volunteers, Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity builds and sells affordable homes in Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, and Lamoille counties. Habitat homebuyers help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through our efforts, over 125+ local families have achieved the strength, stability, and independence they needed to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Sarah, Green Mountain Habitat Homeowner
I am enjoying working on our new home with the
volunteers and every day our son asks ‘when are we going to move into our new home?’ For us, the long wait, from the refugee camp almost 30 years ago, to helping to build our new home, is worth it. -
Dave, Green Mountain Habitat Homeowner
The kids and I anxiously awaited the decision and when I was told that we would become a Habitat homeowner, I burst into tears. We are so grateful for this opportunity to leave very unsafe conditions and move into our own affordable and energy-efficient home.
We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
Our vision is a world where everyone in Northwestern Vermont has a decent and affordable place to live.
We believe that no matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve a decent place to live. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care our ourselves and build our futures.
Healthy communities start with a home.
We have hard work to do. Over 1 in 3 people in Vermont still don’t have a safe, affordable home. Together, we build homes, communities and hope.
