McAuley Square

McAuley Square offers privacy, security and affordability on an attractive, six-acre site within walking distance of Vermont’s only academic medical center and the University of Vermont. Easy access to transportation, quality medical care, and the restaurants, shops and events of downtown Burlington make McAuley Square an ideal location.

McAuley Square is part of a multigenerational community providing housing for young parents returning to school and for participants in the transitional-housing programs of ANEW Place. This community offers tax-credit and market-rate homes as well as some subsidized apartments. Section 8 vouchers are welcome.

McAuley Square is a SASH® location, with a full-time SASH coordinator and part-time wellness nurse. In order to be eligible for housing here, you must apply to both Cathedral Square and the Burlington Housing Authority.
