Creatively Addressing Lamoille Valley’s Housing Crisis

A community gathering to learn, collaborate, and build real solutions for the housing challenges facing our valley.

June 9, 2026Stowe, Vermont

Why This Summit Matters

Housing is one of the most urgent challenges facing Lamoille Valley. It affects our workforce, our businesses, our neighbors, and the future of our communities. For many low- and middle-income residents, finding safe and affordable housing has become increasingly out of reach.

Initiated by the interfaith community, this summit will bring together community members, business leaders, developers, service providers, policymakers, and concerned citizens for a day of learning, conversation, and collaboration. Through presentations, panels, and interactive discussions, participants will explore barriers to housing and work together to imagine creative, practical solutions.
