SRH Attorney Rachel Seelig Joins the Housing and Homelessness Alliance of Vermont

SRH Law is pleased to announce that attorney Rachel Seelig has been elected to the Board of Housing and Homelessness Alliance of Vermont (HHAV). Rachel has been with SRH Law since 2024 and has many years of experience in community development & affordable housing and as an advocate for policies and investments to address homelessness in Vermont, especially for Vermonters with disabilities.

Rachel’s practice consists of litigation, regulatory and transactional matters, employment law, and providing general counsel services to nonprofit and governmental organizations.

Rachel is excited to be a part of the HHAV board and continue to support housing and shelter providers across the state in their missions to develop affordable and accessible housing opportunities and homelessness services and supports for Vermonters.

HHAV is dedicated to working toward a future in which all people living in Vermont have safe, stable, affordable homes and if homeless occurs, it is brief, rare, and non-recurring.
