NORTHWEST VERMONT — The Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity served tens of thousands of Vermonters this past year, and is gearing up for another full year of supporting community members across the region.

CVOEO is a federally-designated community action organization with a mission of economic, social, racial and environmental justice, working to move people out of poverty and into economic independence across Addison, Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle counties.

It also operates a few statewide programs, including its Fair Housing and tenants’ resources, its mobile home program, asylum seeker assistance and its program for families with children experiencing homelessness.

Twenty twenty-four is the 50th year since some of the original programs that formed CVOEO came to be.
