Due to new limits on the State’s Emergency Housing Program, hundreds of households across the state will be forced out of shelter in motels. The Chittenden County Homeless Alliance, alongside United Way of Northwest Vermont and others, advocates for continuous shelter for vulnerable households and adequate funding to respond to the fall-out of failed policies.
Join us in this call to action to ensure stable, affordable, and safe housing is a human right in Vermont.
