Ending Homelessness in Washington County Action
The Central VT Local Organizing Committee invites you to “Ending Homelessness in Washington County: Community-Building Dinner and Progress Report” on Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church
(16 Barre Street, Montpelier). Please register here especially if you intend to share a meal with us.
Dinner at 5 PM
Public Action at 5:30-6:30 PM
Community Building Discussion at 6:30 PM
This action featuring VIA congregation members and guests from the Good Samaritan Haven intends to hold elected officials accountable for previous promises made while also hearing about ideas for future plans. VIA clergy and leaders envision ending homelessness in Washington County by 2020. For the last three years since they presented that vision, they have worked closely with allied housing organizations, state agencies, and lawmakers.
Join us as we build relationships with our neighbors who are still challenged to find safe, decent, affordable housing, and as we make the final push toward eradicating homelessness. For more information, contact Melissa at melissa@viavt.org.
Corrections Reform Action
Our Corrections Reform Action on October 29, 2019 at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Burlington was well-attended and highly successful. VIA leaders won commitments for changes in facilities and therapeutic and restorative programs in the Chittenden Regional Corrections Facility and other prisons across the state from Mike Touchette, Commissioner of the Department of Corrections, Sen. Phil Baruth of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Curt Taylor of the House Corrections & Institutions Committee. Read our Research Report.
