Peter Kaye speaks with Zachariah Watson, Executive Director of Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity, serving Waterbury, Royalton, and Central Vermont, providing affordable homebuilding partnerships and shared equity housing solutions to income sensitive families. Watson discusses the organization’s home construction program, partner family mortgage model, sweat equity requirements, and ReStore social enterprise. Watson also shares information about homeownership counseling, community volunteer engagement, and expanding multi unit developments to address Vermont’s housing crisis. He describes the moment he calls families to tell them they’ve been selected as a Habitat partner family—a highlight of his job. (centralvermonthabitat.org)
