Vermont Statewide Housing Conference 2022: Keynote - Unlocking Zoning's Potential to Improve Vermont's Housing Stock 11/16/2022

From the organizers:

Keynote speaker Sara Bronin is a Mexican-American architect, attorney, policymaker and professor at Cornell University whose interdisciplinary work focuses on how law and policy can foster more equitable, sustainable, well-designed, and connected places. Bronin is the founder of DesegrateCT, an effort to expand housing opportunity in Connecticut by mapping zoning restrictions, promoting transit-oriented communities, advocating for sensible lot sizes for homes, and reducing bureaucracy. She is currently leading efforts to create a national zoning atlas to expand this work.

Bronin shares evidence from her work on the connections between housing and zoning and on opportunities for zoning data to better inform advocacy. She also describes how aggregating information on zoning regulations at the state and national levels can help us better understand its relationship to housing affordability and diversity and offers new hope for improving zoning decisions in the future.

Organized by Vermont Housing Finanace Authority.

Housing - Fair, Safe, Affordable: CVOEO Fair Housing Project 05/17/2018

Ted Wimpey speaks with Artist, Exhibition Designer, Promoter, and Affordable Housing Advocate, Corrine Yonce and CCTV Staff Member Meghan O'Rourke. The primary discussion topic is the history of Burlington's new resident controlled, affordable housing community of 336 homes in the New North End.

The board of Northgate Resident Ownership Corporation (NROC), a non-profit, is working with Ms. Yonce and with CCTV Productions to produce a historical timeline of the saving of Northgate residents from the displacement of low and moderate Northgate residents, who constitute the overwhelming majority of residents, and the conversion to all market-rent, high-end condominiums. In a long process involving many individuals, nonprofit organizations, and governmental agencies, Northgate residents became organized, energized and empowered.

Residents now control and essentially own the Northgate apartments via mandated majority resident representation on the NROC board of directors.

CCTV Productions is working with Ms. Yonce and a committee of the Northgate board on a very comprehensive digital timeline of Northgate history and a physical artistic representation of the timeline for site display.
