Last week the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) announced the publication of the Vermont 2025-2029 Statewide Housing Needs Assessment, a five-year document the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires from government entities that receive federal funding. The findings in the report show Vermont’s statewide housing shortage remains and the affordability gap is growing as costs stretch Vermonters’ budgets thin.

Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is recruiting for a Multi-Family Building and Design Analysis Specialist. Named one of the “Best Small/Medium Places to Work in Vermont” several times over the last few years, VHFA offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) has released its third annual report for the Housing Investments for Vermont (HIVE) Fund. VHFA recently changed the name of VHFA's investment fund to HIVE to reduce confusion with state programs with similar acronyms and to better symbolize the collaborate and dynamic nature of the fund. 

VHFA is pleased to announce Mascoma Bank has joined as a participating lender and is now offering VHFA programs and benefits to eligible homebuyers. Founded in 1899, Mascoma operates as a certified B corporation and brings a purpose driven approach to its customers and community.
