Champlain Housing Trust to lease former Sara Holbrook Community Center building to ONE Arts Inc

Burlington, Vermont – Champlain Housing Trust and local nonprofit ONE Arts Inc announced today that they have reached an agreement to lease the building at 66 North Avenue in Burlington, the former home of the Sara Holbrook Community Center.

ONE Arts Inc operates creative programs for all ages at its licensed early learning, after school and camps programs and art studios, and will expand its programs by leasing the building.

“We are deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve even more children and families in this beautiful education space,” stated ONE Arts Co-President Margaret Coleman.

Champlain Housing Trust purchased the building from the Sara Holbrook Community Center after the organization terminated programming last fall. The housing trust committed to keeping the property in community use. The property received a $4.3 million make-over five years ago and preserving that community investment was important to both the Sara Holbrook Community Center and to Champlain Housing Trust.

“When we took over this building we had hoped that a community nonprofit serving kids and families from the Old North End could find a home here,” said Michael Monte, Champlain Housing Trust’s CEO. “ONE Arts does that, and its roots in the Old North End was an important factor in this agreement.”

ONE Arts will move in this coming summer and expand its programs in the fall.
