The Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA), the Vermont Economic Development Authority (VEDA), and the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) are announcing the results of a new study they jointly commissioned that examines the potential of off-site home construction.  Off-site construction homes are built in factories, shipped, and assembled at the housing site by the manufacturer.

Stakeholders gathered in Montpelier at the Statehouse today to launch the Let's Build Homes initiative.

Tufts University graduate student Tin Skoric has been named the Spring 2025 Vermont Housing Fellow. The Vermont Housing Fellowship program is intended to provide the Fellow with valuable experience aiding their professional development. Mr. Skoric will receive a financial stipend to develop visualizations and data analysis regarding Vermont’s ever-changing housing market and the affordability of Vermont homes.

Compared to all other states, Vermont had the fourth highest rate of homelessness in 2024, according to HUD’s Annual Homelessness Assessment Report. For every 10,000 Vermonters, 53 experienced homelessness, based on the Point-In-Time count completed across the country in January. Hawaii, New York and Oregon had rates higher than Vermont.
