On April 11, 1974, then Governor Thomas Salmon signed legislation creating the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA). As the years progressed, and Vermont’s housing landscape and community needs changed, VHFA’s programs evolved. 

Community members gathered Monday, March 18, 2025 at the historic Ward 5 School in Barre for a grand opening of nine new apartments created in the former elementary school. The event celebrated the permanently affordable apartments and an additional 18 rehabilitated affordable apartments on Bromer Street, as a part of the larger Granite City Apartments development project. 

VHFA was so busy celebrating 50-years of success in 2024 that it missed announcing the hiring of two new, and highly valued, Asset Management and Compliance Officers! Please join VHFA in a belated welcome to Morgan Ledo and Brett Pickett.

VHFA is pleased to announced the following staff promotions and new hire.
