Heineberg Happenings in September
NNE Age Friendly Housing Forum
Wednesday, September 10
5:30 to 7:30 pm at
the Heineberg
AARP Vermont and Burlington's Office of City Planning will be hosting an in-person housing forum focused on how residents can continue living in the community they love while in safer homes that support them as they age.
This forum will be a great opportunity for interested residents to learn from both industry professionals and fellow community members about creating age-friendly housing options in their neighborhood. This event will feature a panel discussion addressing how residents are currently making aging in place a reality, particularly those who have navigated the process of building in their own backyards. The panel will consist of residents who have successfully completed this process, along with local developers and builders who actively support these initiatives.
This forum is an opportunity for community members to provide insight and ideas to inform Plan BTV: New North End, which is a comprehensive plan the City is working on to shape future land use, housing and transportation needs for the NNE.
Dinner will be provided, registration is required.
Panel Presenters Include:
· Emily Whalen, New Frameworks: New Frameworks' vision is to create thoughtfully designed, exceptionally efficient, and health-conscious homes for all.
· Missa Aloisi, Hinge Inc.: Hinge is an Architectural firm located in Burlington with a mission to make design approachable, affordable and accessible for all.
· Faith Ingulsrud, Burlington Resident: Faith and her husband went through the process of building a new house right next to their old one that is designed for aging in place, energy efficient and that fits in well with their historic Sound End neighborhood.
·Kelly DeForge, Union Bank: Kelly is a Senior Mortgage Officer with Union Bank and has been in the industry for over 30 years. Kelly prides herself on educating borrowers during the process and has a wealth of knowledge on Conventional, VA, FHA, Rural Development, and VHFA financing.
