Homelessness Awareness Day 2024 - Join the Honk-and-Wave!

Addison County has a housing crisis. Market conditions, the lack of available housing for sale and rent, and the condition of our housing stock all contribute to what has become a deeply pressing issue for our community. The lack of housing not only affects those who are here and seeking a place to live, but it also prevents the community from attracting people to live and work here. The problem is complex, but it CAN be solved.
Homelessness Awareness Day is a statewide day of action that combines awareness-raising events in local communities with state policy work in the legislature, and more. The Addison County Housing Coalition is holding three simultaneous honk-and-wave events in Middlebury, Vergennes and Bristol, at each town green, beginning at 7:30am and running until 9am on January 18th. We hope you can join us, and spread the word!
