Relocalizing VT: Affordable Housing; Klezmer

Past event
May 25, 2023, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Central Vermont Community Radio: A non-profit leader and a lieutenant governor on homelessness and affordable housing, and a legislator on the farewell concert of his 42-year-old klezmer band.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Rick DeAngelis serves as director of the Good Samaritan Haven for homeless in the greater Barre area. In the beginning of 2020, Vermont made sure all homeless people in the state were eligible to move into local hotels and motels, solving the problem of homelessness overnight. The state is in the process of "unsolving" homelessness, by phasing out the program. Rick reflects on the current situation and what impact the ending of hotel and motel stays will have on the people in the hotels and the community.

Vermont Lt. Governor David Zuckerman will share his thoughts on homelessness, state programs for affordable housing, and the Democratic/Progressive initiative in the legislature to add additional funding to the budget to keep the hotel program in place.

Avram Patt serves as state representative for a five-town district straddling Lamoille and Washington Counties, but he's joining us to talk about the farewell concert on Saturday of Nisht Geferlach, a klezmer band who have been playing together since 1981. The other members of Nisht Geferlach are Rick Winston (accordion), Kathy Light (clarinet), Steven Light (trumpet), and Will Lindner.
