Cathedral Square
Founded in Burlington, VT in 1977, Cathedral Square is a national leader in the creation of high-quality, affordable, service-enriched housing communities for older adults and people with diverse needs. We operate 27 housing communities in Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties, with two additional properties currently under construction. We also provide technical assistance to other housing providers and administer our nationally recognized SASH® (Support and Services at Home) program statewide. Cathedral Square homes are well-maintained and consistently earn top scores from federal housing inspectors. They also meet or exceed standards for accessibility, environmentally sustainable building practices, energy efficiency and amenities.
Vision
We envision a time when all people have access to safe, quality, affordable housing that is welcoming and inclusive, with access to the support and services they need to help them stay healthy and thrive in their communities. At Cathedral Square, all staff and residents feel valued, safe, respected, empowered, and supported to reach their fullest potential.
Mission
Cathedral Square improves the lives of older adults and people with diverse needs by creating and maintaining quality, affordable, service-enriched housing. We recognize that safe, affordable homes provide the foundation for health, individual and community well-being, and economic, racial, and social justice.
Additional Culture Details
We are proud of our casual, friendly and safe working environment that prioritizes the well-being of our staff as highly as the well-being of our residents. We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset, and it shows!
We have been named a Best Place to Work in Vermont and received a Governor’s Excellence in Worksite Wellness GOLD Level Award for the past 10+ years. Staff give high marks to our family-friendly, employee-focused HR policies, our emphasis on a healthy work/life balance, and our management transparency. Our Balance Committee sponsors wellness events year-round and works to keep us connected in fun and meaningful ways.

We also provide life insurance and short- and long-term disability insurance. Also available are dental and vision insurance, a 403 retirement plan (with employee contributions matched up to 5%), dependent and health care reimbursement accounts, paid time off, an employee and family assistance program, discounts for gym memberships and other active pursuits, and the biggest benefit of all -- working for an organization with a heart. You’ll work in a collaborative, supportive environment where your contributions are valued, and your work helps improve the lives of older adults.
