BoardVermont Homelessness Response Continuum Public Meeting
The meeting served as a public forum to obtain comments on draft emergency rules concerning the state's homelessness response continuum. Participants discussed concerns regarding the limited opportunities for public input and the accessibility of the rule-making process. Key discussion points included eligibility criteria, methods for verifying homelessness, the removal of self-attestation options for disabilities, and the requirements for engagement with supportive services. Speakers argued that certain draft rules do not align with legislative intent and may negatively impact vulnerable populations.
