Megan Roush of Northfield has been elevated from community development underwriter to director of development at the Vermont Housing Finance Agency. In her new role, Roush will manage the community development underwriter team, support new program development and serve as a main point of contact for Vermont developers applying for VHFA funding.
Prior to joining the VHFA, Roush worked as a housing loan specialist at USDA Rural Development. She is a graduate of Saint Michael's College and is currently completing a master's degree in community development and applied economics at the University of Vermont. She also serves as a volunteer emergency medical technician with Colchester Rescue.
"VHFA continues to build new programs to house more Vermonters," said Executive Director Collins remarked. "Megan’s experience and leadership will be invaluable as we expand our impact while continuing to work collaboratively with the state’s housing funding and development community.”
VHFA is a non-profit agency created in 1974 by the Vermont Legislature to finance and promote affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters. Since its inception, the agency has helped approximately 30,000 Vermont households with affordable mortgages and financed the development of approximately 8,800 affordable rental apartments.
