Phil Scott on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


Housing is key; remove impediments to growth

The fact is, Act 250 did exactly what it was intended to do. It slowed down growth, and in some cases, stopped it altogether. But it was enacted at a time when we were growing way too fast. Today we face a different reality--one where families desperately need homes, and communities need reinvestment. Housing is key, and it's something we can do right now. So let's work together and get more families in homes faster, and at a cost they can afford.

$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.
