On July 11th, 2024 while the community should have been reflecting on the collective hard work that it took to rebuild from the flooding of July 2023; instead, we were watching, worrying, evacuating, cleaning up, and putting back together…. AGAIN.
While VSHA cannot replace your home, we may be able to provide rental assistance in another home if you have been displaced due to the flooding we experienced in Vermont this July. You’ll need to meet income and other eligibility requirements. To learn more please visit our website Applications for Section 8 Assistance – Vermont State Housing Authority (vsha.org) or call 888-406-4003 to request a paper application. You may find more resources by calling 211.
VSHA has been providing rental assistance to Vermont’s most vulnerable since 1968. Our mission is, “to ensure that quality affordable housing opportunities are available to Vermonters statewide”. We can accomplish this mission through our vision to “continually adapt to evolving needs.” We want to help meet your family’s needs for rental assistance. Please reach out!
