We're pleased to announce Shaun Donovan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), will deliver the keynote address at the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference this month.
VHFA Policy and Planning Manager Maura Collins, the event's chief planner, has been working with the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders for several months to obtain the Secretary as a speaker.
The Housing Resource Center, part of the Burlington Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), is now open at its new location: 294 N. Winooski Ave., Burlington.
Watch for the large black and red sign that reads "294," then go to the side door at the far end of the parking area. The center is through the door by the vending machines on the left.
For information about the center, contact Janet Green at 802.861.0110 or [email protected].
VHFA staff recently analyzed income data of 5,068 tenants of subsidized rental housing in Vermont. The results confirm Vermont's housing organizations are helping those who are truly in need.
As seen above, 61% of tenants of Vermont's assisted rental units have incomes below $20,000; 74% have incomes below $25,000. Not surprisingly, the incomes of households in Section 8 assisted housing were dramatically less than non-Section 8 housing.
