The recent recession pushed the number of renters who pay more than half their income for housing to record levels, according to a report released today by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS).

VHFA has selected The Reznick Group of Baltimore, Md., for the purpose of auditing its financial statements.

The company received the job as a result of our RFP process in March.

Sam Falzone was the first winner in VHFA's "Five-Week Wellness Challenge."

Sam was selected at random from all staff members who participated in Week #1 of the challenge to receive a gift certificate from City Market.

The challenge is a progressive fitness program that encourages staff members to make small improvements to their health each week. For this week — Week #2 — staff are encouraged to get up and get moving, and drink more water.

VHFA's Housing Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program (HARP) was the subject of a story in last week's St. Albans Messenger.
