An article in yesterday's Valley News takes a look at the tight rental market in the Lebanon/White River Junction area.
“The rental market is really tight,” Upper Valley Housing Coalition Executive Director Anne Duncan Cooley says in the article. “The prices are going up and the supply is tighter and tighter.”
The article confirms findings of "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Housing and Wages in Vermont," which VHFA published last month.
VHFA has listed for sale a home at 41 Country Way, Barre. The price for the three-bedroom, two-bath house is $100,000, after a $75,000 grant.
This house is one of the latest 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.
Ann-Marie Plank was the fourth winner in VHFA’s “Five-Week Wellness Challenge.”
Ann-Marie was selected at random from all staff members who participated in Week #4 of the challenge to receive a gift certificate from Steven and Burns.
The challenge is a progressive fitness program that encourages staff members to make small improvements to their health each week. For this week — Week #5 — staff are encouraged to get up and get moving, drink more water, eat healthier snacks, change one unhealthy behavior and ... do something that makes them happy.
The Windham Housing Trust in Brattleboro has changed its name to Windham and Windsor Housing Trust.
The change took effect May 1.
The organization has also added a second location, at 90 Main St., Springfield. 802.885.3220.
Their new Web site will be live soon.
