Grants announced by Gov. Peter Shumlin in Rutland this week will help build and improve  affordable housing in Bennington County.

$2.4 million in Vermont Community Development Program grants will help the Town of Bennington, Regional Affordable Housing Corp. and Housing Vermont construct 14 new rental units and renovate 12 existing units.

VHFA's Policy and Planning Department will welcome Abby Smith as a research intern beginning Tuesday.

March 16th's kick-off meeting for the Chittenden County Regional Sustainability Project will air on public access stations around the county, and is available as streaming video below.

The first meeting of the steering committee overseeing a two-year regional sustainability initiative is a partnership of Chittenden County municipalities, state and local agencies, institutions and non-profit organizations.

With the potential of a shutdown of the federal government looming tomorrow, we've received questions from people wondering what it would mean for VHFA and housing in Vermont.

Regardless of whether or not there's a shutdown, it will be business as usual for VHFA.
