This will be an opportunity for organizations to talk with state legislators about the importance of the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board's balanced and sustainable investments in Vermont communities.

The State of Vermont’s Department of Housing and Community Development is conducting a public hearing in preparation for developing its 2016 HUD Consolidated Plan Action Plan. The purpose of the hearing is to obtain citizens' views about housing, homelessness, public facilities and services, and non-housing community development needs in the state, development of proposed grant activities, and to review past performance of programs included in the plan.

The state's homeless shelters and service providers will commemorate the thousands of homeless and at-risk Vermonters who received housing and/or services this past year. For more information, contact Linda Ryan, (602) 373-6505.

Sponsored by the Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness and the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition.
