An act relating to establishing a residency requirement for the General Assistance Emergency Housing Program and the emergency housing transition benefit

This bill requires that individuals living in Vermont for at least one year before applying for emergency housing assistance. It directly affects people seeking help through the General Assistance Emergency Housing Program and the emergency housing transition benefit. The Department for Children and Families would need to update its rules to enforce this one-year residency requirement. The change would take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
