The Riverflow initiative is complete, and people are now moving in, The Champlain Housing Trust initiative is fully designed and seeking funding and our UVS initiatives in partnership with Downstreet Housing are now fully funded and underway. We are so fortunate to have the support of State leadership and our legislature.
