## Resource

Forty-six new permanently affordable apartments just opened in Burlington, Vermont — a five-year project built on the site of the old VFW and Community Justice Center. Designed to support veterans and those experiencing homelessness, nine units are reserved for homeless residents and four for veterans, all while ensuring long-term community stability. Priced out of speculative markets, this $24 million development was funded by federal, state, and private dollars — including $1 million secured by Senator Bernie Sanders, who calls it a national model for redirecting resources from war to housing and jobs. Developers see it as a “forever asset” — a lasting solution to Burlington’s housing crisis. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
