Brattleboro Area Affordable Housing
celebrates 30 years!

Byron Stookey, who passed away this year, was the spearheading founder of Brattleboro Area Affordable Housing (BAAH)—a nonprofit organization made up of volunteers who work to create, maintain, and support affordable housing in our community. For the last 30 years, the BAAH Board of Directors has made it its mission to carry out Byron’s vision. The 9-person board maintains a variety of programs.

The Apartments in Homes program assists people who have spare room in their homes to create affordable apartments. The Housing Improvement Program helps low-income people with safety issues in their homes to find and pay for contractors to perform remedial work. The Creative Community Housing Program makes financial support available to folks in crisis to pay a security deposit for an apartment or a driver’s license fee for transportation to work.

Byron’s vision was to see every one of us in decent, safe and affordable housing. The impact BAAH has in our community today would not be possible without your steady support and continued contributions to our organization. The need for safe housing never abates.

This Giving Tuesday, please make considerate making a contribution to BAAH, for, as Byron said, "There's just too much work to be done!"

In partnership with BAAH, volunteers from M&T Bank recently took time from their busy day to help clean out and remove a storage shed which had become a hazard at Mountain Home Park.
Thank you!
