VHFA's Sarah Carpenter joined Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) Executive Director Charlie Baker on Channel 17/CCTV's "Local Matters" program yesterday.

The topic was the Sustainable Communities Grant CCRPC recently received from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. VHFA is a partner in the grant.

If you missed the show, you can catch it several more times this month:

Northeast Public Radio aired a story today about the City of Burlington's "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice" report.

VHFA Policy & Planning Manager Maura Collins appears in the news segment.

VHFA wrote the report under contract by the Burlington Community & Economic Development Office.

Representatives from VHFA will join people from Burlington Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO) and the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) Fair Housing Project (FHP) in presenting the new "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice" report to the Burlington City Council.

The presentation will take place Monday, Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. in Burlington's Contois Auditorium in City Hall. (Date changed from Nov. 15 —cb)

Thanks to everyone who turned out to our open house/press event at 8 Short Street in Barre Town yesterday afternoon.

The address is the location of a new affordable home made possible by the Vermont Housing Acquisition & Rehabilitation Program (HARP), funded by the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
