This month Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) joined partners at ribbon-cutting ceremonies at Lincoln Place in Rutland and Red Clover Commons in Brattleboro. The two projects together created 37 new apartments, all of which will be paired with supportive services to help residents live independently. 

A group of energy and financing agencies is developing an innovative weatherization payment mechanism that will allow more Vermonters to participate in comprehensive weatherization projects. One step is to hear from potential customers to help design the process. We are seeking interested homeowners whose building is between 1-4 units in size to participate in a 1-hour focus group. Participants will each receive a $50 gift card for their time. Please find details and dates below. Register and share with others who may be interested!

In another installment of VHFA's housing video series, VHFA Executive Director Maura Collins interviews David Martins, who was appointed Director of the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition (VAHC) this July.

In the video, Martins explains how VAHC helps organize Vermont housing organizations to advocate for the interests of low-income Vermonters. He describes some of their recent community advocacy activities and plans to build VAHC's membership. 

Last week, Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) joined Representative Peter Welch and housing partners in Winooski to celebrate the completion of Parc Terrace.
