Brattleboro Housing Partnerships (BHP) has exciting news: we will be moving our main office from Melrose Street to a temporary location on the SIT Campus starting on June 15, 2026. Our new physical address will be at Bliss House, 65 Experiment Way, on the north side of Brattleboro. The move is extensive. To give staff time to adjust and ensure operations continue, the new office will be open to the public starting Wednesday, June 22. We expect to be at this location for about a year.
Many things will stay the same:
Our main number: 802-254-6071
Our mailing address: BHP, PO Box 2275, Brattleboro, VT 05303
Our office hours: Monday- Friday 8:30-4:00 pm (closed from noon-1:00 pm)
Residents can pay rent or mail information to BHP using prepaid envelopes provided on all properties. Residents are encouraged to sign up for automatic rent withdrawal if that option works for them. All maintenance and administrative operations will continue throughout the move.
The office relocation is a big step in the redevelopment of West Brattleboro Terrace, which will provide 31 apartments for individuals 62 years and older. Construction for this project will begin late summer into early fall.
BHP understands that the temporary office is further away from many of the properties we manage. We have set up more site offices to provide services and complete administrative duties at residential properties. Due to staff being at site offices, we will have much less capacity for walk-in appointments.
Residents are welcome to drop off rent payments, forms, and other documents at the new office during normal business hours starting June 22.
However, if a resident, case manager, landlord, or community partner would like to meet with a staff member, we ask that they schedule an appointment in advance so staff can coordinate and, if necessary, arrange to meet them at an alternate location.
Please schedule appointments by calling our main number 802-254-6071.

The following is information regarding the Annual Waiting List Update and Purge for the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA) and its network of housing partners.
Each year, on behalf of VSHA and its partners Affordablehousing.com will conduct an update and purge of the (90+) waiting lists to ensure applicant information is current and to remove individuals who are no longer interested in housing assistance. This process is essential for maintaining accurate, efficient, and responsive waitlist management.
Key Points for Applicants: Applicants who do not respond to the update request will be removed from the waiting list without further notification. It is critical that all applicants keep their mailing address, phone number, and email address up to date to avoid unintended removal.
2025 Update Schedule:
- May 1, 2025: First notification sent via email and text message to applicants who have not updated their application in over one year. (For those who have opted into this feature.)
- May 15, 2025: USPS First Class Mail update request sent to any remaining applicants who have not yet responded online or through VSHA or a PBV Partner.
- May 29, 2025: Deadline to complete the update process.
- May 30, 2025: Applicants who have not completed their update by this date will be removed from the waiting list.
Please help us by reminding applicants you work with about this process and encouraging them to complete their updates in a timely manner.
As a reminder, please stay informed and refer applicants to Vermont.AffordableHousing.com for updates.
If you have any questions or need support with applicant communications, feel free to reach out to us.
