Yesterday, the Center for Rural Studies (CRS) at the University of Vermont held its first focus group to help improve the Vermont Housing Data Web site.
Seven participants joined a handful of group facilitators in exploring and discussing the site during a 90-minute session.
Held on the UVM campus, the group was the first of four to be conducted around the state. Participants receive a $40 gift card, and will be entered in a raffle to win a 4GB iPod nano.
Vermont Housing Data was developed by VHFA and CRS, with support from Vermont's housing community.
