Live call-in discussion: The pandemic has turned Vermont's housing crunch into a full-blown housing crisis. It's the focus of the latest Brave Little State, and this hour, Vermont Edition hears from Vermonters struggling to buy a home, speaks with housing experts on what's behind the surge in housing demand (and the increasingly short supply), and learns about creative ways some Vermont communities are trying to address the housing problem.
Our guests are:
- Maura Collins, executive director of the Vermont Housing Finance Agency
- Sue Fillion, planning director for the Town of Brattleboro, discussing rezoning to allow for more homes to be built
- Michael Monte, CEO of the Champlain Housing Trust, discussing its shared equity housing model and city-supported projects like Winooski's Butternut Grove condos
Broadcast live on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
