Vermont's housing shortage goes way beyond the pressures of housing Vermont's student population.
But in Burlington, the annual influx of college students usually brings to attention the city's already tight housing market.
The Burlington Free Press reported this weekend on efforts by the University of Vermont and Champlain College to tackle the issue.
"The state’s real-estate market hasn’t stalled the way markets have in other states," according to an article in this weekend's Burlington Free Press.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, VHFA Executive Director Sarah Carpenter and officials from many other housing organizations attended a groundbreaking ceremony at the Ellis Block in Springfield today.
A quick reminder for owners and managers of subsidized rental properties in Vermont: You can post your vacancies online, free, at the Directory of Affordable Rental Housing (DoARH).
With Hurricane Earl bearing down on the Northeast this weekend, this might be a good time to make sure the DoARH contains all your current vacancies.
