About the Housing Trust of Rutland County
For over 30 years, Housing Trust of Rutland County has been moving people into quality housing solutions throughout our community. From young families starting out, to single parents finding their footing, to seniors ready to downsize, to individuals with special needs who are striving for independence, the organization is built on the belief that everyone deserves a safe, affordable, attractive place to call home. The Housing Trust creates high quality, attractive and safe rental housing in population centers within Rutland County, often seeking sites and buildings that will not likely be redeveloped by others, and will have a strong positive impact in a neighborhood. Many properties are restored or redeveloped historic buildings. Having built or renovated over 50 buildings and 3 mobile home parks, the Housing Trust is now providing affordable housing to nearly 500 people annually in nearly units throughout Rutland County.
