How It Works

ACCT offers downpayment grants to homebuyers through the Homeland Program and, sometimes, the Vermont Affordable Housing Tax Credit. Purchasers can receive up to 20 percent of the purchase price of a home in return for sharing appreciation with future buyers through a housing subsidy covenant or ground lease signed with the Trust.  In addition to down-payment grants, ACCT also facilitates resales of affordable homes currently in the program.  

Currently ACCT is looking to add homes in the following towns to its portfolio:  Vergennes, Bristol, Middlebury, New Haven, Waltham, Addison, Monkton and Ferrisburgh.
