With Chittenden County trailing behind affordable housing goals, leaders call for ‘focused efforts’ and funding

Despite efforts by politicians and housing organizations, Chittenden County isn’t meeting its affordable housing goals. The Building Homes Together 2.0 campaign is the second iteration of a five-year campaign to address the county’s housing shortage. The campaign has set a target of seeing 5,000 new homes — including single-family dwellings, condominiums and rental apartments — built from 2021 to 2025, with 1,250 intended to be affordable. But recent updates show that only 909 new homes were built in Chittenden County in 2021, short of the coalition’s goal of 1,000. Meanwhile, only 151 of the intended 250 affordable homes were completed that year.
