Description
From Host Jules Wetchi:
To respond to the ongoing housing crisis in Burlington, Mayor Miro Weinberger released his “Action Plan to Fulfill the Promise of Housing as a Human Right in Burlington,” a 10-point plan that outlines a roadmap to double the rate of housing production and end chronic homelessness in our community. In support of this plan, CEDO is working to transform the Elmwood Avenue parking lot for temporary use as an emergency shelter community and Community Resource Center for neighbors in our community experiencing homelessness. Updates and information on the project can be found on the CEDO website.
What is a Shelter Pod Village?
The Shelter Pod Village will have 35 shelter pods, which are small individual units meant to house one person. The Shelter Pod Village is for homeless community members.
