This morning's Burlington Free Press includes an opinion piece by Burlington attorney L. Randolph Amis.

Published as a follow-up to our recent release of "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Housing and Wages in Vermont," he writes:

"I fear that soon the authors may need to change the title to 'Between a Rock and No Place' as more and more Vermonters are unable to find safe and secure housing."

VHFA received the President's Award from the United Way of Chittenden County.

Executive Director Sarah Carpenter accepted the award on behalf of the Agency at Wednesday night's United Way of Chittenden County Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington.

The Center for Housing Policy today released a report that shows Burlington, Vermont, is the 33rd most expensive metropolitan area in the country for housing rentals.

For homeownership, Burlington ties with Sacramento, Calif., as the 56th most expensive in the nation.

(San Francisco takes top "honors" on both lists.)

The Vermont State Treasurer's Office has produce "Managing Your Money in a Challenging Economy," a television program intended to help Vermonters manage their budgets during the difficult economy.

The 30-minute program will show on cable access stations across the state next week. DVD copies will also be available at local libraries.
