Thank you for an incredible year!
Over the past year, Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity has evolved into a growing leader in Vermont’s affordable housing ecosystem.
In 2025, homeowners, volunteers, and partners built five affordable, energy-efficient homes, expanded volunteer engagement, strengthened our ReStores, and launched our Building Jobs for Youth initiative with YouthBuild. These milestones reflect not just what we accomplished, but our increasing capacity to do more.
As housing pressures grow statewide, we are positioned to expand our impact—strengthening partnerships and preparing to build up to 10 homes per year for low-income families who live and work in communities in Northwest Vermont.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we are building more than homes—we are building community, stability, dignity, and hope.
Warmly,
Brett Johnson, CEO

You’ve likely seen the housing crunch hitting our neighbors—it’s getting harder for the people who make Vermont work to actually live here.
In 2025, we successfully built 5 homes for low-income families working in 5 professions. The need is growing faster than that, so, we’re doubling down. Our goal for 2026 and 2027 is to ramp up to 10 homes a year. We aren’t just building houses anymore; we are building a growing pipeline of homesites able to serve more working low-income families faster than ever before. The impact our supporters and community partners have made possible is empowering us to grow—expanding to 10 new homes to deepen our commitment to our community.
