VHCB provides administrative and fiscal support to the independent Land Access and Opportunity Board, which was created under Section 22 of Act 182 of 2022 to “promote improvements in access to woodlands, farmland, and land and home ownership for Vermonters from historically marginalized or disadvantaged communities who continue to face barriers to land and home ownership.”
VHCB hosts the longest running AmeriCorps program in Vermont! For over 27 years we’ve been getting things done in fulfillment of the AmeriCorps mission: to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.
