The Rutland Herald published a story in this morning's edition about foreclosure assistance available from NeighborWorks of Western Vermont in Rutland.
NeighborWorks of Western Vermont Executive Director Ludy Biddle and Deputy Commissioner of Banking and Securities for the Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administration Tom Candon, who also sits on VHFA's Board of Commissioners, are quoted in the piece.
Vermont's plan to preserve affordable rental housing was one topic of discussion at "Partners in Innovation: A Dialogue on Federal, State and Local Rental Preservation Solutions," a symposium held Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
The National Housing Conference and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation co-hosted the invite-only event, which brought together experts from across the nation to discuss the importance of preserving affordable housing during this housing crisis.
Our friends at the Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL) in Montpelier have named Sarah Wendell Launderville (right) Executive Director of the organization.
Sarah started at the center in 1997, and is currently Home and Community Access Program Manager.
She becomes Executive Director on April 1 when she replaces Deborah Lisi-Baker (left), who's directed the center for 10 years.
Deborah's retiring from her position, but plans to remain active in disability rights by teaching and consulting.

Erin assures Housing Matters she's already started building an album of embarrassing photos of Connor to share someday with his future sweetheart.
