Homes First is a grassroots, no-profit, all volunteer collaboration between individuals who believe that housing is a basic human need, and that our responsibility in being good neighbors is doing our best in helping to find secure housing for all members of our community.
Specifically, we seek to provide economically and environmentally sustainable, “right sized” homes to Addison County residents that are designed and funded, fully or in large part, by the community that resides alongside them.
Our Vision See our TimelineHere's why
This is the trailer to the 2 films made by the Vermont student documentary crew who travelled across the country during the summer of 2019 to learn from people and communities who have successfully constructed these villages. See both films (20 minutes each) on our Timeline page.
