VHFA Other Special Programs (Housing Our Workforce)

Amount: Current official materials show Housing Our Workforce can provide up to $25,000 statewide in Vermont as a grant for down payment, closing costs, or up to a two-point rate buydown.

Repayment: Housing Our Workforce is structured as a grant, but the buyer signs a five-year retention mortgage, deed restriction, and note at closing. If the buyer sells, transfers, or triggers a covered refinance event during that period, the grant can be recaptured on a prorated basis. There are no monthly payments.

First-time buyer: Not required

Timing: VHFA materials say lenders should reserve funds and allow at least 15 business days before closing; funds are first-come, first-served.
