The publication features, "the most effective advertising and communication programs for improving public opinion about affordable housing," according to a PSC press release.

The Vermont campaign, lead by VHFA, aimed to raise awareness of the need for more housing of all types in Vermont and build support for more housing development.

More than 40 public and private organizations participated in the campaign.

A free summary of the report is available at the PSC Web site. The full report is available free to PSC members.
