Every year, 500 new people use services to help them through incidents of domestic and sexual violence in Franklin and Grand Isle counties. However, shelters are running out of room, so a new space is being opened to hold the overflow.
Tax season can be daunting for the most efficient filer, and seemingly impossible for those who know little about the process. Not everyone is required to file taxes, but most Americans must and probably will submit a return.
Vermont Business Magazine VermontBiz and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce the top 65 Best Places to Work in Vermont 2025. The awards program was created in 2006 and is presented in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management, Vermont State Council, (VTSHRM), the Vermont Department of Commerce and Community Development and Workforce Research Group.
A statement from Paul Dragon, Executive Director, CVOEO, on the recent changes in federal funding for social services
City officials in Barre and Burlington have begun to open emergency shelters in response to dangerously cold temperatures that descended on the state Monday and are forecast to persist in the coming days.
CVOEO, a non-profit focused on social and economic justice, is extending its Burlington warming shelter hours to seven days a week. While the state’s threshold to open warming shelters is -20, the non-profit is attempting to keep their shelter open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
CVOEO's Community Resource Center extended its hours at 228 North Winooski Ave and is now open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from January through February
As temperatures dropped below freezing last week, Burlington organizations banded together to house the city's most vulnerable but are calling upon the state for more help.
On Christmas Eve, leaders call for immediate lifesaving intervention to prevent death due to cold exposure. Together, they call on State leaders to take immediate action to support the rapid creation of additional shelter capacity and prevent deaths due to cold exposure.
No person should live in fear, and if we all work together, Vermont will be a true place of refuge, safety and economic opportunity for all.
