You can watch Michelle Kennedy's keynote address from Nov. 18's Vermont Statewide Housing Conference here:

The Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) is holding its annual phonathon through Dec. 10 to raise money to fight homelessness in Vermont.

If you'd like to volunteer to help, they have a number of different opportunities available.

In a couple weeks, VHFA staff will take part in the Agency's long tradition of "mitten stuffing," to benefit our neighbors at the King Street Youth Center.

Staff donate mittens, gloves, scarves and hats, and fill them with candy before giving them to the kids who attend the center.

Winooski Falls has won the 2008 Livable Communities Award from AARP and the National Association of Home Builders.
