Advocates, municipal leaders and lawmakers have urged state government to do more as an estimated 1,000 of the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness in Vermont are leaving motel rooms this fall as the state winds down the motel voucher program. Between Sept. 19 and Oct. 14, 724 households, consisting of 877 adults and 298 children, exited the motel rooms, according to Vermont Department for Children and Families. About 100 will lose their motel rooms at the end of October, it said.
Scott said on Wednesday that the state didn’t know how many people would need housing this fall and has been figuring out where it has capacity. He wouldn’t say how many families the state has identified as needing shelter but said it’s a limited number. “We haven’t heard from others. Maybe there’s more,” the governor said. “I don’t know but we don’t have the information as to where they went when they left the program. So they may be with family members. We don’t believe they’re out on the street but we’ll find out.”
