When we build and invest in quality homes for individuals and families, we create thriving communities. That’s why for the last 35 years, we have developed and financed environmentally, socially and economically responsible projects for low and moderate income people across northern New England.
Evernorth Connections helps to improve the lives of affordable housing residents and provides capacity-building support to its housing and services partners. The Connections program places residents at the center of our decision making by engaging them in conversations and with surveys to hear directly from them about their challenges and successes. We share the information gathered with housing and social service partners to better tailor our services to the distinct needs of each community. Our goal is to work with partners to bring these services to residents across all of northern New England.
Since its inception in 2008, investments made in projects through Evernorth Rural Ventures have
retained 3,290 jobs
created 1,100 new permanent jobs
created 1,820 construction jobs
