โ€œThis funding has helped us provide flexible, rapid-response support to individuals and families in crisis who are at risk of homelessness or experiencing unstable housing. Your generosity helps us cover essential housing needs such as security deposits, short-term rental assistance, utility payments, and emergency shelter support. Unlike many traditional funding streams, our discretionary fund allows us to act quicklyโ€”often preventing a crisis from escalating or filling gaps not covered by other resources." - HCRS.

HCRS provides creative, collaborative, and compassionate mental health, substance use, and developmental disability services to southeastern Vermont.

Mascoma Bank was pleased to donate to HCRS's Housing Contingency Fund in 2025, a vital resource for clients who are homeless or at risk of losing their housing. ๐Ÿ”‘

Thanks for empowering people to meet their potential by meeting people where they are, HCRS.

It was a busy and beautiful day in Brattleboro on 10/4! ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

While part of our team joined the Buddy Walk, others spent the day connecting with community members at the Health & Benefits Fair โ€” sharing local resources, mental health support, and wellness info with neighbors and friends.

We love being part of events that bring our community together to learn, connect, and take steps toward healthier lives. ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ’š We are proud to share this Valley News feature on George Karabakakis, who has served HCRS with vision and humility for more than 3 decades.

Under his leadership, we have nearly doubled our annual budget, led the creation of Vermontโ€™s Mobile Crisis response, and deepened collaboration across mental health and justice systems.

George will retire in June 2026 after 31 years at HCRS, including 11 years as our dedicated CEO. Our board is actively searching for his successor, and we look forward to building on his legacy.
