'Let's Build Homes' launches housing abundance coalition in Montpelier

Let's Build Homes Steering Committee

January 16, 2025

This week marked an excellent start for Let's Build Homes!

Thank you to everyone who came and filled the Cedar Creek Room at the State House on Tuesday, and to the now over 100 organizations as well as more than 300 Vermonters who have signed on as individuals. Together we have demonstrated that this new coalition for housing abundance already has brought together leaders from every corner of Vermont and every sector of our economy.

Maura Collins—Executive Director of Vermont Housing Finance Agency—gives remarks at LBH's public launch in Montpelier.

The response to the event has been remarkable. Major news outlets across Vermont covered our coalition's formation and mission:

The momentum continued on Wednesday when LBH Executive Chair, Miro Weinberger, was a guest on The Morning Drive discussing Vermont's housing shortage and how to fix it, and then gave LBH's first legislative testimony to the Vermont House Committee on General and Housing.

This widespread coverage and public interest shows that our message is resonating: Vermont is ready for bold action on housing. Please help us keep building momentum. If you have not already, please consider sharing this website with your networks and on social media platforms you are active on.

Together, we're building a movement that will make Vermont more affordable, vibrant, and inclusive.
