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.
A statement from Paul Dragon, Executive Director, CVOEO, on the recent changes in federal funding for social services.
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.
After almost 30 years leading Voices Against Violence, Kris Lukens is stepping into retirement. Lukens took the helm of the local domestic and sexual violence agency in 1996, just as it was preparing to open its very first shelter. Today, as she’s leaving, Voices will open a second.
All people deserve access to the basic human needs of food and shelter. We know that the state of Vermont — our government and our people — can make the choice to shelter and feed everyone in Vermont.
Since its founding in 1980, Voices Against Violence has purchased a shelter, expanded its work with children, and deepened ties within the community. Unfortunately, domestic and sexual violence persist in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties.
