Vermonters have long committed to helping our vulnerable neighbors through support of our social safety net - a value we have held dear for generations to keep people safe, warm, and fed.
But the safety net is fraying dangerously, through years of state neglect.
Nearly 40 years ago, state government chose to serve its most vulnerable people through contracts with nonprofit social service agencies supported by state revenue.
Vermont's human services organizations were chosen to do this work because they are an essential part of the structure that prepares children for school, enables elders and people with disabilities to remain safe and cared for in their homes, and supports victims of domestic violence, low-income families, New Americans, and many others who require our care and compassion.
