Overview

Mission

The Vermont affordable housing coalition is a dynamic statewide partnership dedicated to uniting people in a movement for safe, accessible, quality, and perpetually affordable housing. We accomplish this through advocacy, education, and outreach.

What it reported doing in 2023

Resident organizing and outreach: convened meetings around the state to increase awareness of need for affordable housing, including legislative forums. Education and policy development: produced and distributed publications; communicated with policy makes on state and federal level; conducted media and public outreach activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
