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. We also administer a home ownership option to our Section 8 participants. Working 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 had four closings under this option. A total of 310 units of affordable housing are provided through these programs.

The mission of the Montpelier Housing Authority is to promote, provide and preserve safe, decent and affordable housing in ways that support families, neighborhoods, and economic self-sufficiency.
