Here is an excerpt from the article:

The Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) is taking over the Samaritan House. The Samaritan House provides emergency shelter and support services to people experiencing homelessness.

CVOEO has plans to update the shelter and boost programming, including adding to the existing building. Vermont has seen a rise in homelessness over the past two years and CVOEO leaders say they hope their management and updates will help address the increased demand for facilities.
