The Center for Rural Studies (CRS) at the University of Vermont is conducting a series of focus groups to improve the Vermont Housing Data Web site.

These 30-minute sessions will help determine how the site is being used, how it impacts/benefits users, and how it could be improved. Each session will include group discussion as well as hands-on navigation of the site.

Participants receive a $40 gift card, and will be entered in a raffle to win a 4GB iPod nano.

Sessions will be held in Berlin, Burlington, St. Johnsbury, Hartford and Rutland through October and November. See the complete schedule (PDF).

CRS is also conducting sessions for its Vermont Indicators Online site and Vermont Planning Information Center.

Vermont Housing Data was developed by VHFA and CRS, with support from Vermont's housing community.
