The U.S. Census Bureau has released its 2010 demographic profile for Vermont.
The profile includes data on age and sex distributions, race, household relationship and type, group quarters population, housing occupancy (including vacancy status) and tenure (whether the housing occupant owns or rents).
UVM's Center for Rural Studies has more information on its Web site.
The Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition (VAHC) and the Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH) will hire a shared full-time AmeriCorps*VISTA member for a year-long position as Communications and Outreach Coordinator.
VAHC is also looking to hire a member to serve as Resident Organizer to organize and build leadership among residents living in subsidized housing at risk of losing its affordability.
More information and application forms are at the VAHC Web site.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recognized Vermont with two "Door Knocker" awards for outstanding work in producing affordable housing.
The honors — two of 14 HUD awarded to just 10 states — went to the City of Burlington for King Street Housing (pictured) and to the state for its Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Capacity Building Program.
We've added a dozen photos to the property listing for 41 Country Way, Barre, the latest home 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.
The home is priced at $100,000, after a $75,000 grant.
