Join the VT Department of Housing & Community Development, VHFA and other statewide partners for the Homes for All Toolkit Launch and Training Summit on March 14!
This interactive event is for novice and emerging small-scale home builders seeking to start developing new and renovated homes in Vermont, community development professionals and local leaders looking for new housing tools to support Vermonters, and anyone interested in innovative solutions to Vermont’s housing crisis.
Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) is seeking an organization or consortium to design a housing development technical assistance (TA) program for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) seeking to develop housing in Vermont. VHFA is providing up to $15,000 for a contractor or consortium to design a TA program that could be operationalized in 2024. The initial funding is essentially a planning grant to develop programming components. Once the program is designed, additional funding will be made available to launch and offer the programming for BIPOC individual and BIPOC owned entities.
The rate of homelessness in Vermont was 2nd highest in the U.S., according to the 2023 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report released by HUD last week.
