VHFA's Commitment to Community Engagement

At the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA), we believe in the power of community engagement and the positive impact it can bring to our surroundings. Our employees are encouraged to dedicate their time to volunteer activities, and their contributions this past year have been both inspiring and transformative. Here's a glimpse into the remarkable volunteer efforts of some of our team members.

The Vermont Public Utility Commission (PUC) is seeking public feedback to help design the Clean Heat Standard. The CHS will have a significant impact on low and moderate income Vermonters and may offer new resources to help increase efficiency and decarbonization in affordable housing. A public engagement session will be held on Thursday, June 6th.

Over $41 million has been paid on behalf of 5,800 Vermont homeowners to help them stay housed during the pandemic, thanks to the Vermont Homeowner Assistance Program (VHAP). The program helped pay for overdue mortgage, property taxes, and utility bills.
