Description
The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) provides Organizational Development Grants to nonprofit organizations developing affordable housing and conservation projects in Vermont. The annual program covers some of the costs associated with project development, supporting both regional groups already actively developing VHCB projects and new organizations.
The program connects organizational support with VHCB’s commitment to long-term benefits for Vermonters. Applicants must demonstrate that funding will have a lasting effect through deed restrictions or other mechanisms. Support encompasses affordable housing and conservation work within the same program, with separate award limits for established regional project-development groups and new organizations.
