S226 introduces new programs with the goal of increasing access to housing, primarily by increasing the housing stock and making existing homes more affordable to homebuyers.
The Vermont State Senate Passed S226 on May 12, 2022 by a vote of 30 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is government interfering in the free market and this government subsidized housing benefits only a specific part of the population. This is also another step towards socialism as subsidized housing is a misuse of taxpayer dollars.
