The Vermont Housing Improvement Program provides rental property owners up to $50,000 per unit to cover the costs of bringing vacant and non-code-compliant rental units up to code. These units must serve a household exiting homelessness or actively working with an immigrant or refugee resettlement program for a minimum of five years. There is also supplement funding available through the Healthy Home Initiative (HHI), which can cover the cost of certain water-related expenses.
