The Northeast Kingdom Collaborative will hold a "Forum on Housing in the Northeast Kingdom" on June 26.

Come to the Barton Memorial Building in Barton from 9 to 11 a.m. to discuss housing in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

The forum will examine issues of:

  • Affordability
  • Housing stock
  • Financing
  • Homelessness
  • Workforce housing
  • Zoning
  • Development
  • Rentals, and more

Participants on a panel kicking-off the discussion include representatives from VHFA, Vermont's Department of Housing and Community Affairs, USDA-Rural Development, Vermont State Housing Authority, and Vermont Housing & Conservation Board.

This forum is one of a series the collaborative is hosting to produce a work-plan and action steps to address key issues facing the Northeast Kingdom.

Forums are also planned, or have already been held, on telecommunications, tourism, economic development, education, and infrastructure.
