Burlington Mayor's Press Conference: Update on Chittenden County Response to Motel Program Sunset 06/05/2023

From the Mayor's Office:

Mayor Weinberger and regional partners provide a briefing on the City’s and Chittenden County Homeless Alliance’s Letters of Intent submitted on June 1 in response to the Vermont Department of Child and Family Services’ call for proposals to support homeless response efforts. As Vermont’s most populous city and a community with a robust concentration of resources including state agencies, community health centers, public transportation, MOUD providers, and non-governmental organizations that support basic needs, Burlington expects to shoulder the bulk of the challenge caused by the sudden sunset of the state Economic Services Division (ESD) Motel Program within Chittenden County.

With: Mayor Miro Weinberger; Sarah Russell, Special Assistant to End Homelessness, City of Burlington; Will Towne, Co-Chair of Chittenden County Homeless Alliance; Kim Fitzgerald, Chief Executive Officer, Cathedral Square.

Swallow THIS reveals the profound impact that the pandemic had on those who take methadone. Methadone clinics became superspreader sites for the coronavirus because hundreds of people travel to them six days a week to get medicated. In March 2020, federal agencies made an unprecedented decision - every patient was eligible for 14-or 28-day take-home bottles of methadone.
