Each April we celebrate the anniversary of the passing of the Fair Housing Act and recommit to its goal of eliminating housing discrimination and creating equal opportunity in every community.
HUD reminds us that “our commitment to fair housing is a living commitment, one that reflects the needs of America today and prepares us for a future of true integration.”
With planning for this year’s Vermont Statewide Housing Conference fully underway, it’s the perfect time to sign on as a sponsor and reap the full promotional value of your investment. The conference will be held Wednesday, November 19, 2014 at the Burlington Hilton.
VHFA recently introduced two new programs that will extend affordable home financing to more Vermonters in time for the start of Vermont’s 2014 peak “home buying season.” The arrival of spring has long been a time of heightened home buying activity in Vermont.
