VHFA has been hired by the Vermont Agency of Human Services (AHS) to write the state's 10-year plan to end homelessness.
VHFA expects to spend five to six months researching, writing, soliciting feedback and making final revisions to the report. We plan to release it during the next legislative season.
Vermont's initiative to publish a 10-year plan was inspired by the National Alliance to End Homelessness's 2001 report "A Plan, Not a Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years," which encouraged communities to develop and implement plans to end or greatly reduce homelessness in their communities.
Vermont's plan is the product of work by the Vermont Interagency Council on Homelessness, chaired by AHS. VHFA Executive Director Sarah Carpenter is a member of the council.
VHFA's contract to produce this report is the latest example of the Agency's growing body of housing research and policy analysis work supporting VHFA’s mission.
