September 13, 2024: Leslie Black-Plumeau from VHFA joins this week's discussion.

Leslie is the Research and Communications Relations Director at VHFA and helped put together the Vermont Statewide Housing Needs Assessment 2025-2029 on behalf of the VT Department of Housing and Community Development.

The assessment's key findings outline how the state's housing shortage is pinching communities now and possibly into the future.

HUD requires the assessment for state that receive federal housing dollars.
