Vermont's housing shortage hasn't really changed much," admits John Fairbanks, publicity affairs manager for the Vermont Housing Finance Agency. "Homes for sale are staying on the market longer than they have in the past." And though prices have stabilized, they haven't exactly plummeted. That's because, Fairbanks suggests, "We're still very much a destination place where people want to live . . . We continue to see a supply of homes for purchase and rent, but the problem remains that a lot of Vermonters work at jobs that pay modest wages. From 1998 to '06, home prices basically doubled, but wages did not, so even though purchase prices have leveled off, incomes have not caught up.

With housing costs rising, [Lillian Roberts] approached the mayor with a proposal to give DC 37 members and municipal workers an affordable way to meet the city's requirement that they live in the five boroughs.

Several state-sponsored programs providing financial assistance to first-time homebuyers have been reinstated following the sale last month of nearly $7billion in bonds, officials said Tuesday.

Through employer-provided down payment or rental assistance and matching grants from the Renaissance Corporation, qualifying employees will be able to reduce the gap produced by high insurance rates and construction costs," Sanderson said. Charlotte Koestler, executive director of the Stone County Economic Development Partnership, said residential growth is being driven by the availability of large tracks of undeveloped land where developers can come in and create subdivisions and neighborhoods.
Gov. Bob McDonnell will ask state lawmakers to approve a net funding increase of $50 million for higher education in the upcoming legislative session, a total that would include more money for state colleges, need-based financial aid, and tuition assistance grants for students attending private Virginia colleges.

The modest funding increase would offset just a fraction of the hundreds of millions of dollars the state has cut from public colleges over the past three years because of revenue shortfalls.
