This Website Is Under Construction: We have populated it with ways you can get involved and the start of our resource guide. Please check back as we complete the site.
End Homelessness VT is currently working to assist people who are experiencing unsheltered and sheltered homelessness in Vermont. Recently a large number of Vermonters were unsheltered from motels by the State of Vermont and we are working to support our neighbors and community members with resources, direct aid and more. We also provide support through the initial voucher and renewal process when people are having a problem getting renewed or are wrongfully removed from the cohort. Email us at endhomelessnessvt@gmail.com for questions or if you are in need of support.

Ways We can Help:
- If you are having trouble renewing your voucher or are kicked out of the April Cohort (program that allows you to remain sheltered until April). We can talk you through the process, support you in the office and in some instances help you through a fair hearing.
- If you are struggling with the hotel or need to be moved to a different hotel, we can help you through that process at your renewal date.
- If you are a hotel and someone is not a good fit and would like help transferring their voucher at the renewal date, we may be able to help support you or the guest through that process.
- If you end up outside, we can help you with supplies depending on what you need & make sure you know the resources available in your area.
- We can help you find ways to tell your story IF you want to.
- We do believe that people deserve to know the rules and their rights and we will inform you of them throughout your need for assistance and benefits.
- We do collect data to help support better systems for shelter and housing going forward.
- We do gather resources and will be offering a statewide resource guide soon.
What to know about us:
- We believe that EVERYONE deserves shelter and as an organization we are working toward a housing first model in both shelter and permanent housing.
- We believe that EVERYONE deserves to know their rights and we will inform people of their rights throughout their need for benefits.
- We are filling a gap in services, but, we can not and will not replace what your local service providers have to offer you. When possible, you should continue to work with them as well. They have the resources to do the work that they are doing and we want to support them in this. There may be different resources available to you if the current one is not working out and we are happy to direct you to that when needed.
- We believe that all people deserve choice and autonomy in the support systems that they engage in. On a rare occasion we will support non traditional case management for people who have an extreme gap in support services, but that would only be until we find a provider to fulfill that need.
- We are a small organization and therefore, it may take us a day or two to get back to you, but we will respond.
