With today marking the beginning of Week 2 of Vermont's Way to Go Challenge, VHFA staff are showing their stuff when it comes to reducing carbon pollution. 

Eight-two percent of the Agency’s staff are biking, walking, running, bussing and carpooling as much as possible before the challenge ends on October 7.  In addition to reducing its carbon footprint, the VHFA group has their eye on winning a Carbon Throw Down with our partners at Housing Vermont.

Stay tuned to see if we accomplish our goal!  It's not too late to get in on the challenge yourself and join the fun by registering on the Way to Go website.

The first interview shared through the project is with Angela Devoid, a single mother living at Moose River Apartments in St. Johnbury.  Listen to her story.

Angela's home and the 27 others at her apartment complex were made affordable in 2003 through Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated by VHFA and the USDA’s Rural Development 515 program.
