Four of the workshops at our upcoming Vermont Statewide Housing Conference have been approved for American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) credit.

We've placed an updated "red-line" draft of the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) online for your review. The draft contains a number of revisions proposed by VHFA that were not included in the recently-passed Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, but based on other policy changes, feedback, and program experience. This new version will be presented to the VHFA Board of Commissioners on Sept.

Fitch Ratings has rated the latest VHFA bond issue AA/F1+.
