Vt. Legislators to call on Gov. Scott to issue state of emergency
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – On Monday, former and current Vermont legislators are going to call on Gov. Scott to declare a state of emergency regarding the state’s homeless population.
Three former and two current Vermont legislators say the homelessness crisis is overwhelming many communities, and causing unnecessary suffering, and even death.
Under the State of Emergency, the legislators ask the state to keep open and available resources for the homeless, and fund services for mental health and drug abuse.
Then, they ask the General Assembly to create legislation to develop long-term solutions.
The event will be held 10:30 Monday morning at the Delta Hotel by Marriott on Williston Rd in South Burlington.
