Pathways Vermont

A non-profit organization working to end homelessness and provide innovative mental health alternatives

Pathways Vermont is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports people to live and thrive in the community at times in their lives when they are most distressed: when they are struggling with thoughts of suicide, are experiencing homelessness, incarceration, institutionalization, mental health struggles or substance use challenges. Pathways Vermont is the first and largest Housing First organization in Vermont, providing permanent housing without requirements or barriers. This evidence based model has been proven to be the most successful approach to ending and preventing homelessness. Through our Housing First programs, we serve people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues, as well as veterans, families, and people coming out of correctional facilities and other institutions. We use a peer-supported alternative approach to mental health in which individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges guide and aid those experiencing similar challenges. From our Community Center that provides peer support in a friendly setting, to our Soteria House which supports people experiencing mental health crises for the first time, to our 7 days/week, non-judgemental phone Support Line, our programs have an immeasurable impact on the everyday lives of our neighbors in need. Since our inception in 2010, Pathways Vermont has succeeded in:

Housing more than 500 individuals, including 180 children
Helping 75 people find employment
Completing 28,842 supportive phone conversations
Preventing 1,122 instances of use of emergency services

Mental Health Urgent Care opened last fall in Burlington and has quickly become a safe, welcoming space for people navigating mental health challenges.

MHUC offers a range of services, including peer support, which Pathways Vermont staff offer Monday through Friday, because connecting with someone who truly understands can make all the difference. “I think that’s what’s made our peer support space so successful,” says Rawnie Davis, a peer support specialist. “We spend time with people who check in, keep them company, or just listen. Many people just want a quiet, safe space — without judgment or expectation.”

Pathways Vermont staff are trained in Intentional Peer Support, a practice that emphasizes mutuality, respect, and meeting people where they are.

That’s exactly what Gabby Makatura experienced when she walked through the doors at MHUC. “It’s such a safe place—no one asks why you’re there or questions your agenda,” Makatura says. “There’s nothing like being surrounded by people who have lived through the same experiences.”

MHUC is a partnership between the Howard Center, Pathways Vermont, UVM Health Network, UVMMC, Community Health Centers, and the Vermont Department of Health. You can learn more about this innovative program by following this link: https://howardcenter.org/mhuc/

To everyone in the Pathways Vermont community, thank you.

Because of you, our programs operate, our neighbors are supported, and we are able to reach more Vermonters every day. Across the state, people are finding connection, stability, and care because a community like yours chose to show up.

A gift today to Pathways Vermont helps ensure that people can access peer support, safe housing, and compassionate care, not just during the holidays, but all year long.

If you’re able, please consider making a year-end gift. Every contribution helps sustain this work and the people at the heart of it. We see you, and we are deeply grateful for all you make possible. 💙

Today in Randolph, someone is calling the Vermont Support Line to connect with a caring voice. Someone else in Bennington is moving their belongings into an apartment of their own with the help of our Permanent Supportive Housing team. Another person is accessing peer support at the Mental Health Urgent Care in Burlington, while someone from Essex is walking through the doors at Rosewood Cottage to rest, reset, and reconnect with themselves.

Across the state, our staff walk alongside our neighbors facing mental health challenges, homelessness, substance use, and reentry after incarceration. At Pathways Vermont, we see every day how access to community, safe housing, and compassionate mental health alternatives can change a life.

You can change a life today, too. Your support makes this work possible. You can donate online at pathwaysvermont.org/donate, by mailing a check, or on Venmo (). Thank you for being a changemaker. ✨
