QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL HAS BEEN SHOWN TO:
Benefit children academically and support their overall development and well-being.
Allow individuals to improve their physical and mental well-being.
Disrupt the cycle of unemployment, substance use, and other difficulties that lead to homelessness.
Increase workforce development efforts and tax revenue by creating opportunities for people across the income spectrum.
WE KNOW THE HOUSING FIRST MODEL WORKS
Housing First is an approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness. In Vermont, 85 percent of the people getting housing first do not go back to homelessness.
AND YET, THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOMES TO MEET THE NEED
Addison County has 25 to 40 housing units available for every 100 low-income households (at or below 30% of median income) and a less than 1 percent housing vacancy rate.

Studies have shown the trauma of living without a home is like not sleeping for three days in a row.
