VHFA has passed a major milestone: The Agency has issued more than $3 billion in bonds to finance homeownership and rental opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters.
Over its nearly-37-year history, VHFA has put that money to use helping approximately 27,000 Vermont households to buy a home and financing the development of approximately 8,400 affordable rental units.
Santina Leporati, A*Vista Communications and Outreach Coordinator with the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition, appeared on Channel 17/CCTV's "Housing in Review" program yesterday.

Sen. Bernie Sanders will hold a series of "town meetings" on the economy and federal budget priorities.
He hopes to discuss ways to prevent cuts to programs that benefit Vermont's working families.
VHFA has listed for sale a home at 1157 Vt. Route 302, Orange. The price for the three-bedroom, one-bath house is $119,000, after a $71,000 grant.
This house is the latest to come through the Housing Acquisition & Rehabilitation Program (HARP), where VHFA acquires foreclosed properties from banks, renovates them, and resells them to income-eligible Vermonters.
