Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is developing the 2026-2027 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP), which guides the Agency in deploying Vermont’s largest pool of federal affordable housing resources. VHFA is seeking public input on recommendations that the Agency will consider for this update. To facilitate input, VHFA will host in-person QAP public meetings around the state in July and August, as well as a virtual public comment meeting.

Please join VHFA staff at these upcoming QAP public comment meetings:

On Thursday, the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) Board of Commissioners awarded Vermont State Affordable Housing Tax Credits for developing rental and for-sale homes across the state. Once they are sold to investors, the credits will yield over $4.8 million in equity to fund construction and substantial rehabilitation of 246 rental and for-sale homes and support the statewide Manufactured Housing Downpayment Program for approximately 41 homes. This program provides downpayment assistance for Zero Energy Modular and energy-efficient manufactured homes. 

A recording of the NPR show "1A" with Jenn White focused on the challenges of Vermont's housing landscape is now available through Vermont Public. White was joined at a live recording in Essex Junction on May 1, 2024 by VHFA's Executive Director Maura Collins, Carly Berlin, Housing/Infrastructure Reporter for Vermont Public and VTDigger, and Nancy Owens, President at Evernorth.  Listen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNmfnWx8HPA.
