Downstreet Housing & Community Development is a Barre-based nonprofit that strengthens Central Vermont communities by delivering permanently affordable housing, advancing equity and inclusion, and connecting residents with essential services. It operates across Washington, Orange, and Lamoille counties, partnering with municipalities and organizations to develop and sustain housing programs statewide. The organization builds and rehabilitates multifamily properties for low- to middle-income families and individuals and provides property management to ensure safety, stability, and permanent affordability. Its Homeownership Center supports prospective homeowners with down-payment assistance, education, and guidance, along with low-interest loans for critical home repairs. The group also manages the Support & Services at Home program in Central Vermont, delivering on-site assistance to older adults and people with disabilities to help them live independently. In 2026, Downstreet announced a partnership with Evernorth to co-develop a 26-unit mixed-income building, signaling ongoing expansion of its housing footprint.
