Who We Are
Purpose
Champlain Housing Trust is a membership-based nonprofit organization with a commitment to creating and preserving perpetually affordable housing and vital communities in northwest Vermont.
New Organization Story
Burlington Community Land Trust and Lake Champlain Housing Development Corporation were each founded by the City of Burlington, Vermont in 1984 to provide affordable, safe, and decent housing to families and individuals with low to moderate incomes. As geographic territory, services, and funding sources increasingly overlapped, the two organizations decided to combine their assets and resources into Champlain Housing Trust. In 2006, the merger was complete.
Staff
Champlain Housing Trust staff are committed, compassionate, and motivated. Approximately 80 staff members are located throughout Chittenden, Grand Isle, and Franklin counties. The main telephone number is 802-862-6244.
