Here is a great letter from Gina Berry, a Resident Service Coordinator (RSC), about what RSC's do. Gina Berry has been a RSC for eight years and writes about how 90% of her time is spent "among other others." Her job as an RSC requires her to work on a number of different tasks every single day. It is not easy to desribe all the things RSC's do but she writes that she does it because she loves it.

On Monday, April 20, the VHFA Board of Commissioners committed $2.55 million in federal low-income housing tax credits and $432,500 in state housing tax credits to expand Vermont’s stock of affordable, energy-efficient housing.  The tax credits will generate approximately $23.5 million in upfront equity for the construction and rehabilitation of 452 primarily rental homes across the state, guaranteed to remain affordable for at least 30 years.
