  • ACTION Campaign Statement on the Importance of Minimum Rates for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit)

    ACTION Campaign Statement on the Importance of Minimum Rates for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit)

    ACTION Campaign Statement on the Importance of Minimum Rates for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) Chairman Camp, On behalf of the nearly 650 national, state and local organizations it represents, the A Call To Invest in Our Neighborhoods (A.C.T.I.O.N.) Campaign greatly appreciates your support for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) in your tax reform discussion draft. As you recognized when retaining it in a reformed tax code, the Housing Credit has been the fundamental capital resource used to finance virtually all affordable rental housing produced in the nation since 1986. It has created about 90,000 homes annually and 2.6 million in its history, leveraged close to $100 billion through public-private partnerships, and created about 95,000 jobs every year, the majority of which are in the small business sector. In addition to retaining the Housing Credit in a reformed tax code, the discussion draft proposes changing it in several ways to streamline and simplify it. While the A.C.T.I.O.N. Campaign will be providing detailed comments regarding these proposals, we want to first draw the Committee’s attention to an issue that has become timely given the recent focus on tax extenders. As the Committee considers which expired tax provisions should be made permanent, we urge it to extend the current law provision setting a minimum 9 percent Housing Credit rate for new construction and substantial rehabilitation and establish a new minimum 4 percent rate for the acquisition of affordable housing. We recommend that the Committee include these provisions in legislation extending expiring tax provisions this year and in any future tax reform legislation, if necessary.

    Housing Programs 13 Overview Ousing—And Affordable Housing Hin Particular—Is in Short Supply in Many Parts of the State

    Statutory Authorization: 24 V.S.A. Chapter 113; Chapter 117 §§4432, 4433 Type: NONREGULATORY Related Topic Areas: Community & Economic Development; Housing Regulations Housing Programs 13 Overview ousing—and affordable housing Hin particular—is in short supply in many parts of the state. It’s becom- ing difficult for an increasing number of Vermonters, including renters and first-time home buyers, to find suit- able places to live near jobs and serv- ices. Many local employees—for example, municipal workers, teachers, and health-care and service providers—cannot afford to live in the communities where they work. Long commutes are common and, with rising fuel prices, increasingly costly. The lack of affordable housing also affects job recruitment and retention. Over much of Vermont’s history, Housing programs, such as community land trusts and dedicated funding sources, can be critical to building housing on infill sites within older neighbor- local governments were solely respon- hoods, where the complications of permitting and construction can reduce in- sible for the care and housing of the terest from the private sector. Once neighborhoods start to turn around, poor, giving rise to a statewide system developers will often jump in to build additional units. of locally funded “poor farms.” These uals who could not support them- grams, until very recently, focused on establishments housed transients and selves. Poor farms were never pleasant providing safe and sanitary housing indigent, elderly, and disabled individ- places to live but were viewed at the for low-income tenants, including the time as a humane and cost-effective elderly and disabled.
  • Fair Housing

    Fair Housing

    NVDA Northeastern Vermont Development Association P.O. Box 630, 36 Eastern Avenue, Suite 1 St. Johnsbury, VT 05819-0630 Fair Housing The U.S. Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604) prohibits discrimination based upon race, color, religion, gender, family status, national origin, or disability in the sale, rental, or advertising of housing. Vermont fair housing law (9 V.S.A. Section 4503) extends this prohibition to discrimination based upon age, marital status, sexual orientation, or reception of public assistance. Any Vermont municipality that wishes to be eligible for federal (HUD) block grant funds administered by the Vermont Community Development Program, Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development is required to certify that it affirmatively furthers fair housing. Local land use planning and regulation can facilitate and further fair housing. Municipal officials should assess their land use plans and regulations with fair housing concerns in mind, and consider drafting or revising plans as needed. The guides that follow can be used by local officials (Planning Commissioners and Selectboards) to assess needs and impediments; remove barriers; support fair housing opportunities; and, provide incentives for fair housing opportunities. Town Plan Review Guide Assessing needs and impediments: 1. The town plan should include information on the following populations: a. elderly (65+) b. people with disabilities (or special needs) c. racial and ethnic groups represented by local residents d. families with children e. families on public assistance f. families making less than 80% of the median family income A good source for local data is www.housingdata.org or NVDA, your regional planning commission.
  • Vermont Housing & Conservation Board Coronavirus Relief Fund

    Vermont Housing & Conservation Board Coronavirus Relief Fund

    PHOTO COURTESY OF SALLY MCCAY Vermont Housing & Conservation Board Coronavirus Relief Fund: Vermont’s Statewide Initiative WRITTEN BY MARY TINGERTHAL FOR THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS Brief Description of the Program In June 2020, as the pandemic drove a surge of homelessness, the Vermont Legislature turned to the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB) to manage $33 million in federal CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF). The goal was to keep people safe while also securing and rehabilitating permanent housing for households experiencing homelessness, and to make virus- protecting improvements in existing homeless shelters. By April 2020 there were more than 2,000 Vermonters reported as homeless, but most traditional shelters had temporarily closed because they were unable to meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) safety protocols. As with many other states and localities, Vermont’s Agency of Human Services quickly began using federal emergency relief funds to lease space in hotels and motels to provide safe emergency shelter. Non-profit housing developers and service providers in Vermont had already tested the idea of converting hotel and motel properties into supportive housing before the start of the pandemic. They had learned that buying hotels and converting them into housing, supported by payments from the State and from hospitals, was more cost effective than leasing hotel rooms, especially for medical recovery purposes. With this experience, VHCB quickly worked with these non-profit partners to develop a proposal to the State Legislature to use Coronavirus Relief Funds to create permanent housing for those who had none and to improve existing congregate shelters to comply with CDC COVID-19 guidelines.

A review of municipal plans & land-use ordinances and the 2006 Chittenden County Regional Plan.

The Concept of Fair Housing Fair housing laws are intended to ensure that people have equal access to housing that meets their needs. These laws prevent housing discrimination and enable the people who experience it to seek redress for the wrong done to them. Fair housing laws also protect all property owners and residents from being victimized by destructive discriminatory practices (such as steering potential residents to certain neighborhoods) that all-too-often diminish property values and destroy communities. The federal Fair Housing Act 1 prohibits discrimination based upon race, color, religion, gender, familial status, national origin, or disability in the sale, rental, appraisal, financing, or advertising of housing.

    New England Housing Network Federal Priorities for 2013

    AFFORDABLE HOUSING: A NEW ENGLAND PERSPECTIVE May 2013 Lead Agencies: CT: Connecticut Housing Coalition MA: Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association ME: Maine Affordable Housing Coalition NH: Housing Action New Hampshire RI: Housing Action Coalition of Rhode Island VT: Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition Please keep in mind as you read this …. It is hard to overstate the far-reaching impact of affordable housing. Affordable housing is a key part of our nation’s infrastructure: it is a major influence on our region’s economic health and on the resilience of our rural communities. It impacts areas as diverse as health care (“When health care professionals connect the dots they discover a strong relationship between good health and adequate housing”1) and law enforcement (“Neighborhood redevelopment is a high-impact law enforcement strategy”2). Lack of adequate housing is a major barrier to educational success for low-income children. Government isn’t pulling its weight as a partner with the private sector in shaping a housing market that serves all Americans. The unaided housing market is beyond the reach of a large proportion of the Region’s working households. Rental subsidies provide a bridge to market-rate housing for the fastest-growing segment of the renter population – households living at less than 200% of poverty. But only a quarter of the households eligible for assistance get it; and waiting periods are measured in years. The Region’s 795,000- unit shortfall in affordable rental housing is compounded by relentless cuts to development subsidies. Public housing – the safety net for our low income elderly and disabled – is staggering under $26 billion in deferred capital investment.
