ReporterHelp shape my reporting:
Vermont is known for strong local communities, but it’s not cheap to live here. More and more, Vermonters are struggling to find affordable housing and child care — longstanding problems that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. I help you understand these issues and find people working towards solutions, especially in the Upper Valley and the Northeast Kingdom.
I’m eager to hear your questions, ideas and feedback. Leave me a voicemail at 802-552-8899 or get in touch using the form below:
