VHIP (Rental Rehab)
VHIP 2 is primarily a reimbursement program that works with private property owners to create or rehab rental housing stock across Vermont through forgivable loans of either five or ten-year terms. These homes, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and multifamily rentals will be leased at an affordable rate for at least 5-10 years depending on the funding structure. Windham & Windsor housing Trust administers this program in Windham and Windsor Counties. Applications currently on pause.
Green Mountain Home Repair Program
The Green Mountain Home Repair (GMHR) program helps homeowners address critical health and safety issues as well increase the energy efficiency of their homes. Through low cost loans, flexible terms and support with identifying a contractor and project oversight, Green Mountain Home Repair may be just the help you need. This program also assists landlords with necessary repairs in 2-4 unit rental buildings. For a limited time, we are offering a $2,500 grant to qualified applicants to help offset the cost of the loan.
