We Are Cathedral Square

We are housing developers, caregivers, maintenance specialists, health care professionals, social workers and public-policy advocates dedicated to promoting healthy homes, caring communities and positive aging. At Cathedral Square, older adults and people with disabilities and other challenges can live their lives to the fullest -- in communities where age and wisdom are valued and respected, where diversity in all its forms is welcome and celebrated.

Our Homes

Stable, affordable housing is the foundation of health, financial stability and quality of life. This is especially true as we age. At Cathedral Square, we offer a range of housing and support -- for older adults living independently, for people with disabilities, and for those needing extra help to remain living at home -- that is second to none.

Our Services

Our residents have on-site access to the programs and services of SASH® (Support and Services at Home), a free program of health and wellness shown to improve health and quality of life, reduce medical expenses, and help people remain living at home as they age. SASH includes activities, special events and outings, and regular check-ins.

Our 'Why'

At Cathedral Square, the work we do and reason we do it is simple and straightforward: We believe that every person, regardless of financial means, personal circumstance or stage of life, has the right to quality, stable housing and the supports they may need to live their life to the fullest in the place they call home.

Housing Development

Lack of Public Water Infrastructure Halts Affordable Housing in Highgate

In late 2023, the Town of Highgate asked nonprofit developer Cathedral Square to develop affordable housing for older adults in Highgate as part of the Town’s Village Revitalization project. After years of working together, Cathedral Square and the Town of Highgate have made the difficult decision not to move forward with the proposed 30-unit Highgate Village Housing project, after determining that a public water system to serve the development is not feasible. This unfortunate outcome illustrates the challenges that rural communities in Vermont are facing.
