A story from the Associated Press (AP) today echoes what we wrote in this year's "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Housing and Wages in Vermont" report: Homes are still unaffordable for many despite lower interest rates.
The AP cites job security, poor credit score and lack of cash as contributing factors to the problem.
WCAX-TV Channel 3 aired a follow-up to its story from a couple weeks ago about Wharf Lane Apartments.
Officials from Vermont Housing Finance Agency, Housing Vermont, Champlain Housing Trust, Vermont Housing & Conservation Board, the State of Vermont and others cut the ribbon on Blake Commons in Swanton Village yesterday.
Wharf Lane Apartments, affordable homes to 44 Burlington residents, is in the news again this morning.
The Burlington Free Press published a story in today's issue about the property and the possibility its residents will lose their homes if the building's owner sells.
