Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition

The Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition (VAHC) is a statewide membership organization dedicated to ensuring that all Vermonters have safe, adequate, physically accessible and affordable housing, particularly the state’s low and moderate-income residents, people with disabilities, the homeless, elders, and families with children. Our further mission is to:

• Ensure that all Vermonters, particularly low and moderate income persons, people with disabilities, home­less people, elders, families with children and others have safe, adequate, physically accessible and affordable housing;
• Encourage resident participation and control in their housing;
• Advocate for the preservation of existing housing, protection of renters, and the development of new, perpetually affordable low and moderate income housing;
• Promote the recognition of housing as a basic right for all Vermonters through education of the public and elected officials; and
• Act as a catalyst in the explora­tion and development of innovative means to preserve and increase Vermont’s affordable housing stock.
