On Monday, the Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) Board of Commissioners awarded $708,000 in Vermont State Affordable Housing Tax Credits for homeownership development projects. Once sold to investors, the credits will yield nearly $3.4 million in equity for home construction costs and energy-efficient manufactured homes. The projects will create new, high-quality homes, which are needed more than ever as low- and moderate-income homebuyers continue to face an extremely challenging housing market.
