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
Founded in 1990 through the merger of two housing organizations sharing a common vision, Twin Pines Housing has been a leading nonprofit in providing affordable housing solutions for low and moderate-income families across the Upper Valley. Serving northern Windsor and southeastern Orange Counties in Vermont, as well as southern Grafton and northern Sullivan Counties in New Hampshire, Twin Pines plays a pivotal role in addressing the region’s housing needs.
Since its inception, Twin Pines Housing has actively developed and acquired various housing options, including apartments, a mobile home park, single-family homes, and condominiums. These residences are strategically located near public transportation, employment opportunities, shopping centers, and essential services. The organization offers a range of housing options, both age-restricted and non-age-restricted, as well as housing options for veterans and homeless households. In addition to rental housing, Twin Pines offers a homeownership program to low and moderate-income homebuyers.
What We Do
Twin Pines Housing’s mission is to expand access to quality housing and supportive services that address both immediate and long-term needs in the Upper Valley.
As a mission-driven nonprofit, we believe that safe, affordable housing is essential to individual well-being, strong communities, and economic stability.
Twin Pines is guided by a dedicated volunteer board of trustees, bringing a wide range of professional expertise, educational backgrounds, and life experiences. To ensure resident representation, at least one-third of the board members must be individuals with low to moderate incomes or residents 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:
