Make a gift that matters

This holiday season, we would love for you to get to know us a bit better, and consider making a gift toward affordable housing.  Donations are a critical source of support for strengthening our organization so that we can continue to be the cornerstone of affordable housing in Addison County.

About ACCT: Who We Are & What We Do
 
Since 1990, ACCT has been creating and conserving affordable housing in Addison County to ensure that all of our neighbors--low and middle income families, seniors, and individuals--have a safe, affordable place to call home.  Over the past 25 years, ACCT has become the lead developer, manager, and steward of affordable housing assets in Addison County, an area with continued, pressing need.
 
Awards/Recognitions
 
ACCT has received accolades for its energy efficient design and use of "smart growth" principles.  Several of our developments, including Middlebury South Village Apartments and Stone Hill Apartments in Middlebury, have won Smart Growth Awards and achieved a 5+ star rating from Efficiency Vermont.
