Vermont\u2019s Department for Children and Families has appealed an Aug. 7 Human Services Board decision that found the state had incorrectly enforced the 80-day limit on its motel voucher program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The citizen panel reversed the department\u2019s denial of emergency housing for petitioner \u201cH.D.,\u201d an individual with a severe medical condition whose name is being withheld, on the basis that they had already exhausted the 80-day maximum outlined in state law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, local aid providers expressed surprise and dismay<\/a> at the state\u2019s enforcement of the time limit in relation to Gov. Phil Scott\u2019s March executive order<\/a> to extend emergency housing for certain medically vulnerable people and children through the end of the fiscal year. On July 1, over 800 people exited<\/a> from motels across the state. Advocates said a change to the state\u2019s enforcement could mean hundreds without shelter return to emergency housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents obtained by VTDigger show that Timothy Connors, chief of the state Attorney General\u2019s Agency of Human Services Legal Division, filed an appeal of the Human Services Board\u2019s decision to the Vermont Supreme Court on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of \u2018most vulnerable\u2019 households to lose emergency shelter as governor\u2019s order expires<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby<\/span> Carly Berlin<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Vermont Legal Aid, which represented H.D. during their hearing, released a statement<\/a> last week following the Human Services Board\u2019s decision urging others who were denied emergency housing due to exceeding the 80-day limit to request a hearing of their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryellen Griffin, a staff attorney for Vermont Legal Aid, said state law limits the department\u2019s ability to consider past use of the program when reviewing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt never says anything about going backwards or counting days from fiscal year 2025,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state owes each qualifying applicant 80 days of emergency housing during the current fiscal year by law, Griffin said, within the program\u2019s volume restrictions. As of Aug. 4, of the 1,100 rooms provided by the state, 518 were occupied.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur understanding is that the state plans to force each person to go through an individual appeals process,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Griffin said she was aware of her organization\u2019s involvement in roughly 20 active cases of this kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur intake is certainly way up just the past couple days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the actual appeal process may take months, Griffin said hearing officers have sometimes issued \u201cbenefits pending appeal,\u201d meaning the person appealing may be granted housing while their case is being adjudicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Griffin said the case-by-case approach is a waste of valuable time and resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that it would be much better for the department to simply implement the correct interpretation across the board,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate outcome of H.D.\u2019s appeal and related cases will depend on the decision of the Vermont Supreme Court. As it stands, however, people who were denied emergency housing based on previous use of the program may be able to successfully appeal that decision, advocates say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of people could gain emergency housing through such petitions, according to Brenda Siegel, executive director of End Homelessness Vermont<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her organization is working on about 40 ongoing cases related to the issue, she said, adding \u201cthat’s just a small fraction of the people who this impacts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Siegel, some medically vulnerable people who lost housing July 1 have already died, while others have gone without food for long stretches to try and keep a roof over their heads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a big deal,\u201d Siegel said. \u201cThis emergency shelter is life-saving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A main challenge faced by local aid providers is keeping clients informed of their options, Siegel and Griffin said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said it wasn\u2019t clear in the state\u2019s earlier messaging that people who used Scott\u2019s extension would have those days counted toward their housing limit later that calendar year. For now, they\u2019re emphasizing, people may be able to get housing regardless of their history in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople living with disabilities who are experiencing homelessness deserve to survive our state’s housing crisis,\u201d Siegel said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
