Overview
The Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) had funding to grant to municipalities for land use, development, and zoning bylaw updates in support of a pedestrian-oriented development pattern that increase housing choice, affordability, and opportunity in areas planned in accordance with Vermont’s smart growth principles (24 V.S.A. §2791).
This program will not accept applications in FY25.
