State of Vermont Archives: on Welfare & Poverty

David Zuckerman: Support new affordable housing, improve existing homes

We must ensure that all Vermonters have access to safe, healthy, affordable housing. Almost one quarter of our housing stock is more than 80 years old. We must support the creation of new affordable housing at the local level as well as improvements to our existing homes. This investment will create good-paying jobs all around the state, improve energy efficiency, reduce housing expenses for hardworking Vermonters, and ensure a safe and healthy environment for younger and older Vermonters.

Rebecca Holcombe: Target investment at affordable homes & rentals

When our communities are healthy, happy, and strong, they become attractive places for people to live and for business to prosper. I will:

Target investment at inclusive and affordable homes and rentals in walkable downtowns.
Address rising costs of healthcare, because we cannot afford to wait for national solutions.
Ensure equitable access to education and childcare.
Facilitate statewide dialogue on supporting people of color and members of the immigrant & refugee community.

Phil Scott: $35 million housing bond for full spectrum of housing

We need direct investment in economic development activities that will produce results. At the core of my proposal is a $35 million housing bond, in partnership with the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. VHCB will lead an effort to expand housing across the full spectrum--from homeless populations to home ownership for middle-income families.
