About Us:
The Habitat for Humanity of Rutland County, Vermont Affiliate serves residents of the Rutland County Community. After almost a decade of being unaffiliated, members of the community recognized the need for Habitat and took action. Beginning in late 2012, a steering committee went through the lengthy process of applying to become a Habitat affiliate. The new affiliate completed its first home, a whole-house renovation, in Fair Haven in the fall of 2016.
