VHFA joined housing partners in Stowe this week to celebrate the completion of Phase 1 of the River Bend Apartments project. The first phase of the project, developed by Lamoille Housing Partnership and Evernorth, includes nine newly constructed affordable apartments on Maple Street in Stowe. The project received federal tax credits and a loan awarded by VHFA, as well as a loan from VHFA’s Housing Investment Fund (VHIF).

“Projects like this one are easy when you have so many amazing partners working towards the same goal,” remarked VHFA Executive Director Maura Collins.
