Vermont Rural Ventures (VRV) was established in 2009 by Housing Vermont (now Evernorth) as a qualified Community Development Entity (CDE) with a mission to foster economic development and create quality jobs in underserved Vermont communities. The organization achieves this primarily by utilizing the federal New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, which allows VRV to provide flexible, below-market-rate capital to impactful projects. These investments support businesses, downtown development, and the expansion of essential community services throughout the state of Vermont.
