An act relating to establishing the Vermont Homelessness Response Continuum
This bill is trying to create a system of care designed to help those experiencing homelessness have access to support services, adequate shelter, and to help municipalities have the resources to expand emergency sheltering in Vermont.
An act relating to residential rental agreements, eviction procedures, and the creation of the positive rental payment credit reporting pilot program
This bill proposes to make numerous substantive amendments to residential rental agreements; create an
ejectment process for just cause evictions; make certain ejectment records confidential; enact the positive rental payment credit reporting pilot program through the Office of the State Treasurer; and authorize technical assistance for landlords and tenants through the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity.
This bill removes many protections for tenants and is projected to increase the number of evictions, leading to an increase in homelessness.
This bill is still in the Senate Health and Welfare Committee. You can find more information, including a record of committee activity by click the full bill link.
