Burlington Housing Trust Fund

Funded from a dedicated tax approved by voters in 1989, the Burlington Housing Trust Fund provides grants and loans for the promotion, retention, and creation of long-term affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate-income households.  Grants are provided to support the direct project, as well as capacity building, costs (such as staffing, training, planning, fundraising, and ongoing operational expenses), of nonprofit organizations working to create or preserve low or moderate income housing.  In FY 2016, the Fund plans to provide $337,750 of support to Burlington organizations.
