Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Community Foundation’s Insight Hub, its research-driven arm focused on providing insight to inform charitable giving, has published a brief on how charitable individuals can use their giving to expand access to homeownership for middle income Vermonters. The Insight Hub offers webinars, events, articles, videos, briefs, and peer-to-peer experiences that help philanthropists understand where their giving can make a difference.
Vermont needs additional housing of all types. An important piece of the puzzle is the creation of homeownership opportunities for the missing middle—buyers who don't qualify for income-restricted housing programs but can't afford market-rate homes. Philanthropy can help preserve Vermont's high homeownership rate with strategies that target middle income buyers.
IN THIS BRIEF, DISCOVER:
·Three actions to boost missing middle homeownership
·Data breaking down Vermont’s homeownership rate and recent trends in home prices
·Testimonial from experts in the field working on solutions
