Housing law workshop Wednesday
Tomorrow there’s an exciting opportunity to dive into the details of Vermont’s housing laws. Billed as “an advanced workshop for planning professionals exploring Vermont housing laws,” this event will cover an overview of fair housing laws, changes to Title 9, and the Federal Fair Housing Act. “Case studies will be presented, followed by a discussion of potential future amendments to housing laws in Vermont,” the flyer reads.

Yet again VHFA has topped all other states in using Housing Tax Credits – a program designed to serve low income households earning up to 60 percent of the area’s median income (AMI) – for extremely low income households earning less than 30 percent of the AMI. 65 percent of Vermont’s credits served extremely low income households, compared to a national average of just 9 percent.
