A new study reports that providing permanent supportive housing for people in rural Maine is less expensive than serving people while they're homeless.

That conclusion is similar to the one VHFA reached in our May 2008 publication "The Costs and Benefits of Assisting Vermont's Chronically Homeless" (841KB; PDF).

VHFA is seeking comments on its competitive priorities for the new Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP).

TCAP is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 17.

How quickly a year passes: It's already mid-May, which means VHFA has started our annual search for photo subjects for our next annual report.

We're looking for folks who purchased a home in the last year, give or take, with the help of a VHFA mortgage, and who are happy to sit 20 minutes for a photo with their home.
