Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) announces the release of its 2027-2028 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) which establishes the policies, priorities, and evaluation criteria the Agency will use to allocate federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Vermont Affordable Housing Tax Credits pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (pdf) and applicable state law. 

The Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) announced today the promotion of Deborah Flannery to Deputy Executive Director, a new leadership role created to support the Agency’s rapid growth in housing investments and mission impact statewide.

The federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is the largest single source of funding for affordable housing development and a crucial resource for expanding affordable rental housing throughout the state. In addition, Vermont has a state-funded housing tax credit for rental and for-sale affordable homes. Both of these types of housing tax credits are administered by Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA). 

Vermont’s housing needs have never been more urgent, and VHFA is meeting the moment.

Vermont needs your help identifying new homes built in your community. Earlier this year, VHFA and the State of Vermont published studies quantifying the new homes needed to address immediate and future housing needs.

As the mornings become frosty and the holidays approach, people begin to think about what makes them thankful. At VHFA, our mission to finance and support affordable housing in Vermont gives us meaning, and we are grateful for the many partners we work with that help make safe and decent housing a reality. In a season of thanksgiving, we extend our appreciation to those who build and those that benefit from the work we do.

The Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB), in coordination with Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA), Vermont State Housing Authority and the Vermont Community Development Program, is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to assess and align inspection and compliance systems across Vermont’s affordable housing portfolio. 

The Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is pleased to announce the addition of two new underwriters to the Community Development team this September. VHFA welcomes Todd Rawlings and Jameson Williams.
