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.
