Additional rental assistance funding available for Vermont residents

Good news for Vermonters in need of rental assistance.

State officials say there is an estimated 20 million dollars available for some of the lowest income people in the state.

Earlier this month, the state announced the pandemic related emergency rental assistance program is being phased out.

The state says its highest priority is now extending the assistance through April, but they won’t know exactly how much money in funding they’ll have until next month.
