The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus published an opinion piece today by former VHFA Board of Commissioners Chairman Richard White.
In the piece, titled "State conservation board's work is essential," Richard writes, "It is no accident that Vermont ranks last in the country in the rate of foreclosure or that the 2004 study of Vermont's housing nonprofits had high praise for the system that Vermont has built over the last quarter century.
Today VHFA bids farewell to Staff Accountant Sara Hoehn, who's soon returning to the Lone Star State.
Sara's time with the Agency was brief, but we appreciate the good work she did while she was here.
Good luck, Sara!
