Pandemic assistance program awards $41 million to help homeowners
Over $41 million has been paid on behalf of 5,800 Vermont homeowners to help them stay housed during the pandemic, thanks to the Vermont Homeowner Assistance Program (VHAP). The program helped pay for overdue mortgage, property taxes, and utility bills.
“This program helped support Vermonters through the pandemic, ensuring that more families could stay safely in their homes,” said Governor Phil Scott. “Housing is an important part of Vermont’s long-term recovery, ensuring that we can move forward stronger than before.”
