Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness

The Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness seeks to ensure that people living in Vermont have a safe, stable, affordable home, and — if homelessness does occur — it is brief, rare, and non-recurring and those experiencing homelessness are treated with dignity and respect.

Yesterday, HUD announced the final Tier 2 awards for Continuum of Care Programs with both CoCs (Balance of State and Chittenden) in Vermont approved for all submitted applications including:

  • All CoC renewal projects
  • All CoC reallocated projects (two new ICA/HMIS grants, new CVOEO/Coordinated Entry project, and a new VSHA Permanent Housing/Rapid Rehousing project in Franklin/Lamoille/Washington counties)
  • Two new Permanent Housing/Rapid Rehousing BONUS projects:
    • $131,542:  State of Vermont (AHS); “Domestic Violence – Housing First”.
    • $415,845:  Vermont State Housing Authority; 37 units/62 beds to serve literally homeless families, individuals, youth, veterans and victims of domestic violence in the counties of Addison (John Graham Shelter), Bennington (BROC), Orleans (NEKCA), Rutland (BROC & HPC), Washington (Capstone), and Windsor (UVH).
