He signed the proclamation at the beginning of his weekly press conference this afternoon in the governor's ceremonial office at the Statehouse.

VHFA has been a member of the Vermont Fair Housing Council (VFHC) since its inception. The VFHC monitors Vermont's Fair Housing activities, and published the state's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing report.

We revised our homeownership income and purchase price limits today.

These limits help determine which homebuyers and properties might be eligible for VHFA financing.

Proctorsville Green Housing won the "Best of the Best Award" from Efficiency Vermont for energy efficient single-family homes.

The $3.5 million project, which was completed just more than a year ago, consists of 16 permanently affordable rental apartments and four new homeownership townhouses spread among three locations.

An energy audit, performed this past autumn, found the project realized energy savings of $2,400 a year. Allowing for a 4 percent annual inflation rate for fuel costs, the project will save approximately $340,000 over its 30-year mortgage.

VHFA allocated federal Tax Credits to the project.
