Montpelier Housing Authority - A Valuable Community Resource

The Montpelier Housing Authority is a local, independent government agency that has served our community thirty five years. Our five member Board of Commissioners is appointed by the City Council with Commissioners serving staggered five-year terms. The Board employs an Executive Director and staff to oversee its operations. As a local independent agency, we are not a City department and receive no local or state funds to operate our programs.

The Authority operates a wide variety of programs in its continuing effort to meet the need for affordable housing. We own and manage Pioneer and Gould Apartments. We also serve as managing agent for Lane Shops Apartments, Cummings Street Apartments, Prospect Place and two projects for Washington County Mental Health: a group home on St. Paul Street and a small apartment house on Prospect Street in Montpelier. In addition, we administer the Section 8 Existing Program which totals 122 vouchers. Last year we began offering a home ownership program option to our Section 8 participants. Working along with the Central Vermont Homeownership Center, this option allows Section 8 tenants to use their vouchers to help pay their mortgage and other pertinent housing expenses. To date, we have four Section 8 participants who have become homeowners under this program. There are a total of 310 units of affordable housing provided.

Heaton Woods is a 41 unit residential care facility which was renovated by our nonprofit Capital City Housing Foundation (CCHF). Heaton Woods is a tremendous asset to the community. The public is welcome any time to tour the facility or visit with the residents. Please call 223-1157 if you have questions.

CCHF continues sponsorship of the meals site at Pioneer Apartments. The Senior Meals Program serves weekday noon meals to the elderly and disabled. They also provide home deliveries in the Montpelier vicinity. Please call 223-6357 for more information.

Projects owned or managed by the Authority also contribute financially to the City. All projects pay full water and sewer charges, including the sewer benefit. Pioneer Apartments made a payment in lieu of taxes in the amount of $9,606.73 this year. Gould Apartments made a voluntary payment of $2,800.00. Cummings Street, Lane Shops, Prospect Place, 7 St. Paul Street group home and the Washington County Mental Health Prospect Street property paid a total of $92,444.56 in property taxes.

The authority works cooperatively with City Departments, especially the Planning and Development office. The Executive Director also serves on the Montpelier Housing Task Force.

The authority strives to maintain a high level of service to our tenants and the Montpelier community. Please feel free to call our office at 229-9232 if we can be of service to you.
