“CITIZENS TAKING ACTION ON THE HOUSING CRISIS”

Background Statement
The creation of the Regional Housing Fund arose from efforts by the Upper Valley Housing Coalition for a permanent solution to address the affordability gap in the ability of Upper Valley residents and employees to acquire adequate housing. This need is detailed in the Upper Valley Housing Needs Analysis and is supported by those working in the home financing field, individuals seeking housing, and employers citing the lack of housing as a threat to their ability to compete in the marketplace as it is driving up costs associated with recruitment and retention. To address a scarcity of housing choices for the workforce in the Upper Valley, the Regional Housing Fund is a tool the Housing Coalition will use to facilitate and promote the development of a range of housing opportunities through several financial vehicles.
