This documentary, which goes deep on housing and includes Caitlin Wargo of Adirondack Roots, explores the issues and history of the park that brought it to this point, and what those dedicated to the Adirondacks’ future say to do about it.

We’re thrilled to receive $15,000 in funding from Adirondack Community Foundation through its Generous Acts Fund!

These funds will allow us to continue and expand our services - helping people put down roots or stay in homes they already love through programs like HUD-Certified Homebuyer Counseling, which is enabling four first-time homebuyers to settle into their new homes in Keene.

We’re grateful to Community Foundation for this support and for all they do to lift up Adirondack Communities.
