Chloe will be leading the meeting for both Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless’ board of directors as well as the general public. Chloe will review statistics for the past year and present a budget for the upcoming year which the board will vote on. Additionally, Chloe will be answering questions from anyone who would like to join. With so much happening in the last few months around homelessness and housing insecurity in Bennington, we hope you will join so you can get the latest information, learn what BCCH is working on to address some of the biggest issues our community faces, and to get your questions answered.

Recently, Vermont’s housing voucher program was slated to end, with hundreds of Vermont residents in Bennington county alone slated to be kicked onto the streets this summer. The voucher program was extended but not before hundreds of Vermonters were made homeless. Currently, BCCH is leading the way in organizing a coalition of area non-profits to come together and create a solution for when the voucher programs ends for good next year.

Additionally, BCCH has been in headlines recently as Chloe has been reporting out on homelessness issues at Bennington select board meeting, culminating in the town voting to set aside $50,000 in funding to be earmarked for homelessness assistance. Finally, BCCH has many new developments over the last few months including a new family shelter and a series of new grants. If you have questions related to any of these topics, we hope you’ll join us on July 25th via Zoom and ask.

We hope to see you there!
