Wanted: Large space for 100-bed emergency shelter in Chittenden County

Chittenden County officials are on the hunt for a large space to create a 100-bed emergency shelter, aiming to address the growing issue of homelessness and help those sleeping outdoors. This initiative could set a precedent as the largest year-round shelter in Vermont. With the rising number of people in need of immediate support, this project is crucial for providing essential services and potentially reducing the visible homeless population in one of the state's most populous areas.
