The State of Vermont’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is inviting the public to attend a series of community outreach meetings around the state to inform its upcoming HUD Consolidated Plan.  

VHFA celebrated Brenda Howley for her many years of service as she retires from the Agency this month.

Brenda Howley served as VHFA’s Legal Coordinator since 2011. She worked with VHFA’s General Counsel to oversee VHFA’s corporate records, loan closings, Agency bond issuances, and coordinated meetings of VHFA’s Board of Commissioners. Prior to coming to VHFA, she worked at several local law firms. She is a graduate of Champlain College.
