Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) has released its 2019 Annual Report. This year VHFA celebrated its 45th annniversary of financing and promoting affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters. Since it opened, the Agency has helped approximately 29,000 Vermont households with affordable mortgages and financed the development of approximately 8,800 affordable rental apartments. 

Strong financial performance contributed to a rating upgrade from AA to AA+ for Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA)'s multiple purpose bonds from Fitch Ratings last week. AA+ is the second highest possible rating from Fitch. The rating applies to all outstanding long-term debt under the multiple purpose program and should help lower the cost of affordable housing financing through VHFA.
