Lund

Integrated family support, education, and treatment

Overview

Lund is a Vermont nonprofit that supports children and families by offering an integrated mix of services. It runs a 5-star rated early childhood program, provides adoption services to place children in permanent homes, and operates residential and community-based substance abuse treatment programs for parents, including treatment while living with their children. The organization delivers parenting support, education, and childcare through a single umbrella to address poverty, addiction, and abuse. Its approach centers on wraparound services designed to help families heal, grow, and prosper together. Lund differentiates itself by being one of the few places in Vermont that allows parents to receive residential treatment while parenting their children and by combining education, childcare, and family support under one roof. Its goal is to strengthen families and break cycles of poverty, addiction, and abuse to ensure children have stable, healthy environments.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Lund expanded KAPPP to Northern State Correctional Facility on October 1, 2025.
  • Vermont testimony in April 2026 pushed restoration of post-permanency adoption funding.
  • Wanda Audette’s planned June 2026 advisory exit reduces succession risk in adoption services.

What critics are saying

  • A.V. v. Vermont DCF keeps Lund in privacy-litigation through 2026.
  • Lund depends on state appropriations; FY26 asks still seek $869,356 in added funding.
  • If Vermont cuts DCF and AHS contracts, Lund loses core program capacity.

What makes Lund unique

  • Lund runs Vermont’s only residential substance-use program where parents live with children.
  • Lund’s 2025-2026 KAPPP and DULCE programs embed services inside prisons and pediatric practices.
  • Liz Gamache took over in May 2025, bringing fundraising and public-sector operating experience.
