On Monday, Burlington Housing Authority (BHA) closed their acquisition of the Bobbin Mill Apartments, 51 Section 8 assisted apartments in Burlington. These apartments have provided safe and affordable housing since 1981, and together with Housing Vermont, BHA will undertake comprehensive rehabilitation of the units and community space. For the past year, VAHC has been working alongside residents interested in organizing an association. We’re excited for this victory and hope to support residents’ communication with BHA and property managers during this time of transition.
