Livable Communities

AARP Vermont partnered with Smart Growth America (SGA), through AARP’s Livable Communities Technical Assistance Program (LC-TAP), to study the proposed Community Housing Infrastructure Program (CHIP) and its potential impact on housing development. The LC-TAP program provides the capacity to help AARP State Offices guide policies and projects to support communities to be vibrant and accessible for people of all ages. Addressing housing needs is a vital goal for the Livable Communities Program, including supporting the delivery of homes appropriate for multi-generational living, aging in place, and meeting accessibility needs.

Finding an affordable place to live in Vermont can be challenging, but thanks to an innovative partnership between the State of Vermont and the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA), more Vermonters now have access to high-quality, energy-efficient housing. Through an Executive Order from Governor Phil Scott, a new program is providing brand-new, high-efficiency mobile homes at a discounted price to households earning below 140% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
