Hopestead was born from a recognition that Vermont’s housing crisis requires fresh thinking and bold solutions. Our name reflects our dual mission: building homes while cultivating hope in communities struggling with housing affordability.

We distinguish ourselves through innovative approaches to affordable housing development. Rather than following conventional methods, we explore creative building techniques, maximize density within existing zoning frameworks, and design homes that blend seamlessly with Vermont’s distinctive architectural character. Our projects aim to challenge preconceptions about affordable housing by creating beautiful, functional homes that anyone would be proud to live in, regardless of their income level.

At Hopestead, we believe that housing is fundamental to community wellbeing. When people have stable, dignified homes, they can focus on building fulfilling lives.
