Olivia LaVecchia

Olivia LaVecchia of Burlington has joined VHFA in the role of Community Development Underwriter. 

LaVecchia is currently completing her Master's Degree in City Planning at University of California, Berkeley and was VHFA’s Vermont Housing Fellow in the fall of 2022.  She has interned at a California-based affordable housing developer. She previously worked in the City of Burlington Mayor’s office as communications coordinator and special projects manager, including for the city’s recent major housing policy reforms.

"We are thrilled to have Olivia on our team," remarked Megan Roush, VHFA's Director of Development. "Her prior work in affordable housing both in Burlington and California is great experience for her role here at VHFA."
