Vermont Affordable Infill and Workforce Housing Act

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Vermont that the State shall expand affordable housing supply by establishing expedited local and state permitting for qualifying infill and mixed-income housing developments in designated growth areas, creating targeted tax credits and grant incentives for energy-efficient and all-electric affordable housing construction and rehabilitation, and authorizing a rural and workforce housing fund to support smaller-scale developments, adaptive reuse, and infrastructure improvements needed to bring new homes online, with priority for projects that serve low- and moderate-income residents and working families while preserving Vermont’s environmental standards and local planning input.
