Vermont is set to end its hotel housing for homeless people amid a lack of federal funding, a move which advocates warned will leave many people without options. There are roughly 1,800 households living free in hotels and motels, with a great many facing serious difficulties in transitioning to the streets. The lack of resources in Montpelier, Barre, and Berlin has made it harder to effectively meet the needs of people living without housing. Vermont unveiled an emergency housing plan during the pandemic, but it was never meant to be a long-term solution.
