Support inclusive zoning initiatives in your community

Find out if your town has zoning and if they have updated the bylaws, because zoning:

  • provides the framework for community planning and development.
  • can plan for open spaces offset with areas of development.
  • can allow for a second dwelling on a property, such as accessory dwelling rental units.

Sign up above to get emails specific to initiatives in your town. Or contact your town to learn how to get on the Planning Commission or Development Review Board.

Join a housing organization's board of directors, volunteer, or make a donation.

Learn what town and village designations mean…

…and how that would benefit housing.

Visit Vermont’s Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) to learn more about State Designation Programs, and how these influence downtown development, historic rehabilitation, and transportation improvements.

If your town and village are considering merging, learn what that means for housing so you can vote.
