VHFA researchers are available to speak to members of the media on the 2009 American Community Survey (ACS) data that were released yesterday.

VHFA’s research team includes Policy and Planning Manager Maura Collins, MPA; and Research Analyst Leslie Black-Plumeau, MPP.

Direct inquiries to Communications Coordinator Craig Bailey.

ACS is an annual survey of approximately 3 million households that provides recent information on the characteristics of Americans and their households, including the cost of homes and the ability of Americans to afford them.

VHFA will specifically be available to answer questions about ACS data pertaining to Vermont’s housing market and the housing situations of low- and moderate-income people.

For highlights of this new data, see our post from yesterday ("New Census data shows Vermont incomes stagnant").

More information on the ACS is available at the Census site.
