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.

Reid Commons Receives Funding From 10 Percent in VT Program

Kim Fitzgerald, CEO of Cathedral Square, said the Reid Commons project, located within the Fonda Site, will help ensure older residents in St. Albans have access to affordable housing where their needs are met. "We are thrilled to start construction soon on Reid Commons, which will bring 33 new affordable homes to those 55 and older in St. Albans. Our older adult population is growing, and there is a significant need for affordable, safe, accessible housing with on-site services. Programs like the 10% in Vermont program are an important piece in helping us deliver permanently affordable housing like Reid Commons."
