Promoting Affordable Housing for All
- Proposed and passed a housing bond, valued at $37 million, to increase availability of homes working families can afford. As the largest investment in housing in Vermont’s history, this bond will also create 1,000 construction-related jobs and generate $100 million in construction and renovation activity.
- Proposed and passed a provision allowing captive insurance companies to purchase low income tax credits, which will raise additional funds for affordable housing.
Modernizing Permitting for Priority Housing Projects
- Proposed and passed a provision in Act 69 of 2017 to streamline and simplify the regulatory process for the development of Priority Housing Projects (PHPs). This change will increase the overall housing stock in targeted areas.
