Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) addresses fundamental issues of economic, social, racial, and environmental justice and works with people to achieve economic independence. Its statewide Housing Advocacy Programs provide education, support, advocacy, technical assistance, and referrals for people and organizations throughout Vermont. These services are grounded in the understanding that housing is a basic human right and that everyone deserves equitable access to securing and maintaining a decent and safe home, free from discrimination.

Howard Center’s Street Outreach Team helps people living in and around Burlington overcome barriers to access mental health and social services supports. The team connects people to social, mental health, and health care services that individuals would be unlikely to access without assistance, or it provides the support directly when no other option exists. Street Outreach does this through high quality, street-based and mobile outreach provided across all community settings.

Old Spokes Home is a community-supported nonprofit bike shop transforming lives by creating access to bikes for all!

Feeding Champlain Valley has pivoted from a congregate meal site to curbside pickup of pre-bagged and boxed groceries, as well as increased deliveries to older adults, people who have a disability, are sick or injured, or are unable to leave their homes. Additionally, a hotline for emergency deliveries was created to get immediate hunger relief to households who could not visit our location and had nowhere else to turn for help.
