Housing Trust of Rutland County and their partner Evernorth plan to break ground on the new Marble Village in West Rutland in Spring 2024. The project will create 24 mixed income multi-family residential units (studio-two bedroom) with common indoor and outdoor spaces, on-site laundry and ample onsite parking. The building will be three stories and will conform to high energy efficiency standards, ensuring comfort for residents and sustainable operations for the long term. Marble Village will bring much needed apartments along with increased economic activity to the gateway into West Rutland.

East Creek Commons is a “scattered site” affordable housing development project that will bring 35 housing units online. The full project will include rehabilitation of current housing units and the creation of new housing units.
198-208 Columbian Avenue (22 units): This project will rehab the existing 9 affordable units at 194-198 Columbian Ave. that HTRC currently owns and manages and will create 13 new units at the sites located at 200-208 Columbian Ave. This portion of the project will rehabilitate two currently occupied apartment buildings and adjacent vacant building currently on the site with an addition constructed to increase the number of units. The current 9 apartments will be completely rehabilitated, and 13 new units will be added to the property. Eight of these units will be designated for those coming out of homelessness. Community space and a play area for children will also be created.
74 Park Street (9 units): Currently known as Mandala House, a former group home that has been sitting vacant for several years. This property will be redesigned with an addition added to create nine rehabilitated and new affordable apartments. There will be onsite parking and common spaces for residents to enjoy.
18 Drake Road (4 units): This property was used for over 25 years as group home for those with mental health support needs. The building will be rehabilitated and transformed from a group home layout to four new independent apartments for Veterans through support of VASH (Veterans Administrative Supportive Housing) and the VA. VASH will provide subsidies and supportive services the Veterans who lease at this property.
Tuttle Block
Complete: HTRC and Evernorth have completed the renovation of the Tuttle Block on Center Street in the heart of downtown Rutland. This historic building was originally built in 1865 and stood until a devastating fire in 1906. The Tuttle Family rebuilt on the same site, reopening in 1910.
This historic building now offers a total of 16 affordable apartments, with the complete renovation of the 13 original apartments and the conversion of the second-floor office space into 3 new apartments. The building dedicates three units to those at risk of becoming homeless or were homeless. The building also houses two ground floor retail spaces.
