New This Year-
Drive, Not Walk,
Fur Animals!
Every year, Central Vermont Humane Society’s Walk for
Animals is an exciting community event. People and dogs
take a walk with a purpose – to help CVHS save the lives of
vulnerable companion animals and be there for our community
when hard times force individuals to rehome a family pet.
CVHS counts on the donations raised from Walk for Animals
to care for over 1,000 lost, abandoned, and needy animals each
year.
This critical fundraiser provides funds for life-saving surgeries
and medical treatment for homeless dogs, cats, and other
small companion animals, finding them new loving forever
homes.
This year, we need to be creative. We are going to drive
Fur Animals in a multi-town car parade. You can get started
now by registering at www.centralvermonthumane.org. Start
fundraising now and you can participate in many fun virtual
and safe in-person activities including an online pet photo calendar
contest, car decorating contest, dog trick contest and lots
more.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three child fundraisers, top
three adult fundraisers, the top team and all the contest winners.
Participants who raise at least $50 by May 14 will also
receive a souvenir t-shirt at the car parade. All fundraisers,
no matter how much money you raise, will have one chance
to win a fabulous raffle prize. Proceeds from fundraising and
submitting your photo/voting will save animals lives.
Then on Saturday, June 5, join in the fun. Roll with us to
Save Animals! Starting at the National Life parking lot, we
will drive through Montpelier, Berlin and Barre ending at The
Vermont Granite Museum.

So, mark your calendar now and register to fundraise. It

Vermont’s Covid
Emergency Mortgage
Assistance Program
Re-Opens
The Vermont program that helps homeowners who have
fallen behind on their mortgage or property taxes during the
COVID-19 pandemic will re-open on Monday, May 3, 2021.
The Mortgage Assistance Program, will provide grants covering
up to 12 months of past due mortgage payments and
property taxes for eligible homeowners.
Funded through the federal CARES Act, the program operated
first in July through December 2020, providing 636
Vermont households with grants averaging $6,000. With average
monthly mortgage payments of $1,200, most of these
households owed three months or more of payments and the
majority were in a forbearance.
The program is administered by Vermont Housing Finance
Agency (VHFA) but is open to all eligible homeowners
regardless of loan servicer.
A homeowner in forbearance can pause or reduce their
mortgage payments for a limited period agreed to by the mortgage
servicer, which helps avoid immediate foreclosure.
However, forbearance does not erase the amount the homeowner
ultimately owes and sometimes the repayment requirements
may leave the home unaffordable. By providing grants
on the homeowner’s behalf to the loan servicer for missed
payments, the Mortgage Assistance Program lowers the balance
the homeowner owes.
“We are relieved to be resuming these grants for the many
Vermont homeowners who continue to face economic hardship
in this pandemic,” remarked Maura Collins, VHFA’s
Executive Director. “We have already heard from homeowners
concerned about paying back their forbearance balances
and are glad this program can offer them a path toward housing
and financial stability.”
Some applicants who needed mortgage assistance in 2020
were unable to work because they were caring for immunecompromised
children at home. With vaccines limited to
people aged 16 and up, the need for some workers to stay
home is unlikely to change soon.
“I’m doing everything I can to support my family, but I
have no idea when it will be safe for me return to work,”
explained Kimberly Edgars, a nurse who left her job to care
for her children, one of whom has special needs and is at high
risk of complications. “So many people are dealing with situations
like mine right now and I think this program can make
a huge difference for lots of families.”
Vermont’s economy continues to struggle in many sectors,
contributing to an extended need for mortgage assistance. The
number of jobs in Vermont declined by a dramatic 7.6%
between March 2020 and March 2021 — more than any other
New England state. This level of job loss is the highest on
record in Vermont and is hitting the leisure and hospitability
sector most severely. Leisure and hospitality jobs in Vermont
fell by 12,300 jobs, or 34%, in 2020.
Vermonters’ employment losses are reflected in missed
mortgage payments, which have doubled over the course of
the pandemic. Nearly 4.7% of all Vermont mortgages were
seriously delinquent at the end of 2020, compared to just 2.2%
at the end of 2019, according to the Mortgage Bankers
Association. Although a state foreclosure moratorium remains
in place through at least mid-June, its eventual expiration and
reduction of federal benefits will leave many Vermonters at
risk of losing their homes.
The Mortgage Assistance Program will be available to eligible
homeowners who have missed at least one payment
since March 2020 regardless of whether they are in forbearance.
Eligibility requirements and application instructions
are available on VHFA’s website at www.vhfa.org/map.
Mortgage and property tax payments will be made directly
to the servicer of the mortgage or the town in which the
home is located.
VHFA is a non-profit agency created in 1974 by the
Vermont Legislature to finance and promote affordable housing
opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters.
Since its inception, the Agency has helped approximately
29,000 Vermont households with affordable mortgages and
financed the development of approximately 8,800 affordable
rental apartments.
