Inside Housing Podcast

In this interview, Senator Chris Mattos explains how entering the legislature in 2017 shaped his focus on keeping young Vermonters in the state by addressing rising housing costs, interest rates, and development barriers like Act 250, while outlining recent policy efforts such as CHIP funding, Act 180, and S.325 to reduce costs and increase housing supply. He also discusses broader priorities including education reform, rising education fund spending, potential revenue ideas like casinos, and the challenge of balancing slow-moving government work with personal and professional responsibilities.
