Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is proud to announce that it will expand its parental leave policy to offer six weeks of fully paid parental leave for its employees, effective immediately.

“When I became Director this was one of the first moves I wanted to make at the Agency,” VHFA Executive Director Maura Collins remarked. “I believe this benefit truly shows our values of honoring our staff as whole people.  Speaking for myself personally, I want my time away from my children to be worthy of my absence, and working for this mission-rich organization does that for me. That said, having time to be home and be present with a new child is irreplaceable and VHFA wants to help more new parents have that ability.”
