The housing crisis in Vermont has been in the forefront the past week, thanks to the continued skyward trajectory of the stateâs real estate market, the efforts of young activists seeking to extend the general assistance motel program for the homeless, and a report showing how difficult it is for lower-wage earners to find housing that does not force them to work more than 40 hours a week to afford a decent place to live.
About those activists: Theyâre high school students, but Addie Lentzner and Erica Jansch of Bennington, and the friends they made at the Governorâs Institute of Vermont Youth Leadership Program, made an impression with their call for restoring the wider eligibility for the general assistance motel voucher program.
