How new plan to help Vermont's homeless would work
Published: Jun. 11, 2020 at 3:38 PM EDT
A proposal by the Scott administration would help the homeless and transition away from a $48 million hotel voucher system.
The new plan has a $21 million price tag:
-$10 million for the voucher program
-$6 million to help people find housing
-$2.5 million in temporary rental assistance
-$3.7 million for one-time payments to help more than 700 families
-$250,000 to encourage landlords to rent to people who they might consider a risk
Our Darren Perron asked Rita Markley from the Committee on Temporary Shelter how this would work. Watch the video for the interview.
