Statewide Public Hearing on Housing

Date: 3/27/25 4:30 PM
Website: accd.vermont.gov/housing
Location: Vermont

AIAVT's Public Policy Committee encourages members to attend the Vermont State Public Hearing on Housing (details below). Housing is a topic very high on our priority list as a committee, one which we have been tracking in various forms for several years. AIAVT-PPC has participated in a number of charrettes focusing on planning/housing in towns around the state. The State and National AIA are currently prioritizing this as it is more than local issue. We urge any/all interested AIAVT members to attend.

The State of Vermont's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will be holding a virtual/in-person public hearing to get input from Vermont residents before finalizing its U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 5-Year Consolidated Plan for 2025-2029. The draft Plan outlines priorities for the use of approximately $14 million in federal funds provided to the State for creating affordable housing, addressing homelessness, creating jobs, and improving the quality of life for all Vermonters. The Plan also serves as Vermont's application to HUD for these funds.

The hearing will be held on Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 4:30-5:00 p.m. The in-person location will be at DHCD, 1 National Life Drive, Davis Building, 6th floor, Montpelier.
