We're pleased to announce Shaun Donovan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), will deliver the keynote address at the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference this month.

The Housing Resource Center, part of the Burlington Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), is now open at its new location: 294 N. Winooski Ave., Burlington.

Watch for the large black and red sign that reads "294," then go to the side door at the far end of the parking area. The center is through the door by the vending machines on the left.

VHFA staff recently analyzed income data of 5,068 tenants of subsidized rental housing in Vermont. The results confirm Vermont's housing organizations are helping those who are truly in need.

Registrations for the Nov. 18 Vermont Statewide Housing Conference continue to roll in.

We expect two workshops will reach capacity today: "What Lies Ahead for Vermont's Housing Economy" and "State Housing Policy Highlights" both have only a seat or two still open.
