Governor Shumlin, Secretary Cohen of the Agency of Human Services and Commissioner MacKay of the Department of Housing and Community Development invite you to join them and other colleagues and friends for a signing ceremony of an Executive Order related to Publicly Funded Housing for the Homeless. This order will implement a recommendation from the Governor’s Council on Pathways from Poverty by providing another tool to meet the state’s goal of ending family homelessness by 2020 and all other homeless thereafter.

The Order will help ensure a continued focus on assisting our most vulnerable Vermonters by encouraging strong partnerships between state agencies, service providers and housing owners.

Please join this opportunity to celebrate the progress that has been made in Vermont towards the goal of ending homelessness and underscore the continued commitment to ensuring that every Vermonter has a safe, stable place to call home.

Please RSVP to kitty.sweet@vermont.gov and if you have any questions, please contact Commissioner MacKay at 802.828.5216.
