VHFA will release the 2011 update of "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Housing and Wages in Vermont" at a press event Thursday, April 21 at 12 noon, in the Statehouse's Cedar Creek Room.

A report released today by the Center for Housing Policy shows involuntary, unplanned and frequent moves — such as those caused by eviction or foreclosure — can have negative impact on children and family welfare.

VHFA received a worksite wellness award from the Vermont Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

The award was announced March 29 at the Worksite Wellness Conference at the Sheraton Hotel & Conference Center.

VHFA received the award for the walking and stair climbing programs it implemented last year.

April is Fair Housing Month, marking the 43rd anniversary of the federal Fair Housing Act.

The Act, passed by Congress in 1968 at the urging of President Lyndon Johnson, protects buyers and renters of dwellings from discrimination by sellers and landlords.
