Gov. Peter Shumlin has called for a Governor’s Summit on Housing the Homeless to be held June 7 at the Statehouse in Montpelier.
A focus on people who're homeless has been a priority for Shumlin and his Agency of Human Services since he took office. The Governor's convened this opportunity for housing providers to hear and respond to specific proposals a collaborative group of stakeholders will present based on models of how to successfully house people who are homeless.
We hope housing communities from all parts of the state will be represented at this meeting so solutions the State adopts will work well for all properties and tenants.
VHFA strongly encourages all housing organizations to send one or more representative to the summit. Don’t miss this opportunity for your agency’s voice to be heard. There's limited space, so it’s important to R.S.V.P. now.
The summit will be held 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on June 7 at the Statehouse. To help organize the day, email the Agency of Human Services' Diane Nealy. If you plan on attending, R.S.V.P. to 802.241.2244.
