After an interruption Thursday, the Vermont Housing Data website and the Vermont Housing Managers Association website resumed operation. 

Thanks for your patience!

After Tropical Storm Irene, there has been a lot of talk about how Vermont communities can take the lessons learned in the aftermath and plan better for future possible disasters. Similarly, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the federal government was prompted to help state and local governments as they prepared and planned for disasters.

VHFA-ers gathered yesterday to celebrate Martha Fidalgo’s last week as VHFA’s Human Resources/Office Manager. She will assume a new human resources position at Country Home Products in Vergennes.

Multifamily Programs Director Sam Falzone read an “Ode to Martha” which he’d scribed after hearing of her plans to leave VHFA.

Executive Director Sarah Carpenter noted how much Martha’s grace and effectiveness would be missed.
