The result is not ultimately about the workforce: it’ll mean more people hungry, more without access to health care, and more losing their housing. As dangerous, or more than, the bill congress just passed.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can move forward with plans to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies, including for employees at the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, State, Treasury and Veterans Affairs.

We are saddened by the news of the passing of Lois McClure, our longtime friend and steadfast supporter of CHT's work. We're thinking of her family this morning, and we're also thinking about how much she's done for Vermont.
Thank you, Lois.

Our friends at DEW Construction shared this photo of Bay Ridge under construction in Shelburne. Ultimately there will be 68 apartments and 26 condos, all permanently affordable.
As 2024 winds down we are hopeful, excited for the opportunity ahead, and have immense gratitude for our community.

This is wrong. Our state policy, effectively, is “go sleep outside” in December. And this is for people who *qualify* for the benefit.
The Department for Children and Families turned away 344 eligible households between Dec. 1 and 16, including households it considers the most vulnerable under a new policy meant to prioritize them for available rooms when space is limited.
Vermont’s motel program turns away hundreds for lack of space, ahead of single-digit temps
The 344 households who have been unable to get a motel room this month include those deemed most vulnerable, such as unhoused families.
