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.

Dear All Interested Parties & Board of the VT BoS CoC:

NOFA COMMITTEE: Please RSVP at daniel@vsha.org or 828-0294 if and when you want to participate in one or both of two meetings via conference calls: #1 (Oct. 2nd/AM or PM) and/or #2 (Oct. 12 or 13 – AM or PM).  All resources will be posted on VCEH website or available upon email/phone request.

Possible NEW HUD COC FUNDING: As required by the federal government, and desired by VCEH, the following is notice to explain how the VT BoS “CoC is open to proposals from entities that have not previously received funds in prior CoC Program competitions, even if the CoC is not applying for any new projects in 2015”.

PLEASE NOTE:  As an eligible VT BoS CoC Project Applicant entity, VSHA intends to submit a “Letter of Intent” to the VCEH Ranking Committee for a new CoC-Rapid Rehousing BONUS project to serve counties with exceptional need.  Contact Daniel if your agency wants to be considered as a potential VSHA RRH sponsor to serve one or more of the following counties:  Bennington (low CoC funds other than S+C), Lamoille (no CoC funds other than S+C), Windsor North (low CoC/ESG/RHYP funds), Orleans/Essex (high poverty area/low CoC-S+C funds), Rutland (BoS highest need-GA/PIT).
