No Vermonter should be without a home, we can do better than this.

Calijah died of an overdose just two months after being exited from the GA motel program. His death was preventable and predictable. And his story is not unique, our policy choices killed him. This can't keep happening.

"Vermonters at risk of losing their shelter have a short reprieve, but they are being kept in a cycle of uncertainty and panic, fearing what will happen to them next."

We must extend the program and create a long term transitional and permanent housing solution and guarantee we won't throw people on the street in between.
