April showers bring May flowers, and May flowers bring June Renters Workshops!

Are you a current or soon-to-be tenant who wants to gain more housing education and skills? Check out the information below for the live, renters’ workshops in June!

Participants will learn about the fundamentals of tenant rights and responsibilities, leases, security deposits, repairs, tips for navigating the rental process, health code violations, evictions, and protections under the Fair Housing Act. Our Sustaining The Rent course provides tips for budgeting, money management, and building credit to help increase financial literacy.

This weekend we held the “From Housing Justice to Civic Power: A Vermont Action Summit” in collaboration with the National Low Income Housing Coalition and several local organizations. Vermonters came together to discuss housing policy, drawbacks within the current housing landscape, and how to organize communities and utilize tenant power to engage civically.

We had a great group of panelists, action labs, and a pop-up voter registration hub for attendees to engage in.

Thank you to and our community partners for making this great event possible!

Our Fair Housing Project team recently partnered with our Addison Community Action and Financial Futures at CVOEO programs to host a Landlord Connections Gathering as part of Fair Housing Month education, bringing together housing providers, advocates, and community partners for an evening of conversation, resources, and connection.

CVOEO works across the Champlain Valley and greater Vermont to address the root causes of poverty while helping people meet immediate needs.
That includes:
• Food access through Feeding Champlain Valley
• Emergency shelter and housing advocacy
• Financial coaching and small business support
• Head Start early education
• Weatherization and energy savings
• Support for survivors through Voices Against Violence

With over a dozen programs, CVOEO offices can be found in Franklin, Chittenden and Addison county, serving those regions and advocacy support across the state.
Basic needs. Long-term stability. Systems change.

Join our team, access resources and air, and support our work- all at cvoeo.org.
