Field Services & Family Self-Sufficiency Programs
Field Services
Field Representatives are responsible for Inspections and Lease-ups. Notify this person if you received a rent increase or eviction notice, are having additional challenges with your landlord, or are requesting to move.
For issues with other tenants or needed repairs, please reach out to your landlord or property manager. Any illegal activities need to be reported to your local law enforcement.
Family Self-Sufficiency and Home Ownership
You must already have a Section 8 voucher through the Vermont State Housing Authority to participate in these programs.
