Twin Pines Housing Announces Strategic Plan
In November 2024, Twin Pines Housing’s Board of Trustees approved a new five-year strategic plan. Developed through a year-long process involving board members, staff, and community stakeholders, the plan provides a clear roadmap to ensure Twin Pines continues fulfilling its mission of creating quality, affordable housing for the Upper Valley.
A History of Affordable Housing
Twin Pines Housing was formed in 1990 through the merger of two housing organizations having similar visions: to develop and provide affordable housing for low and moderate income families in the Upper Valley. We are now the only non-profit providing multi-family affordable housing in the region, with a service area that spans northern Windsor and southeastern Orange Counties in Vermont and southern Grafton and northern Sullivan Counties in New Hampshire.
Since 1990, Twin Pines Housing has developed or purchased a variety of housing to increase the region’s supply, including apartments, mobile home lots, single family homes, and condominiums. Most housing options are close to public transportation, jobs, shopping, and professional services to reduce the need for private transportation. Offerings include both age-restricted and non-age restricted housing.
What We Do
Twin Pines Housing’s mission is to increase access to quality housing and supportive services to meet the pressing and long-term needs of the Upper Valley community.
We are a mission-driven nonprofit organization recognizing that safe, affordable housing is the foundation of individual and community well-being, as well as economic, racial and social justice.
Twin Pines is overseen by a diverse volunteer board of trustees representing a broad range of educational backgrounds, professional skills, and life experience. One-third of the board must have low to moderate income or reside at one of our properties.
Supportive Services
The primary goal of Twin Pines’ supportive services team is to keep people housed and avoid eviction. The supportive services team partners with several state agencies and local non-profits to provide the comprehensive mix of services including food access, legal and medical resources, job training, utility discounts.
The local non-profits we partner with include:
