"Money, money, money" might or might not "make the world go around;" but lack of it can sure put a quick stop to things! Check out the "Personal Finance Workshop" offered by Financial Futures at CVOEO on May 20 at our offices here at 50 Industrial Ave. Help us spread the word to your friends, tenants, neighbors.

Thanks to our presenters at Wednesday evening's Fair Housing event - "Housing in Addison County: Providing it. Managing it. Maintaining it." Alex, Laura, Kahlia, Ben, Guthrie, Tori and Angela did a great job. And special thanks to the landlords, housing providers and property managers who attended and brought their questions and concerns. We also heard from Supportive Services for Veteran Families and HomeFirstVT. (And, thanks to .vt, we were all very well fed!) How can we keep the conversations going?

CVOEO headed to the Whiting General Store to remove an old flyer for taxes and put up our flyer for the April 22 gathering for landlords. While there I purchased a RB Sandwich, chocolate chip cookie and coffee - meant to take a picture of the food thinking it looked as delicious as it probably tasted; but started to eat it and totally forgot about the picture! However, I did remember to post the flyer. Whiting landlords - RSVP on the flyer and join us - "Housing in Addison County: Providing it. Managing it. Maintaining it."
Food by Viva el Sabor. Presentations by Addison Housing Works, Addison County Economic Development Corporation, Vermont Landlord Association, VT Dept of Housing & Community Development, CVOEO's Fair Housing Project and Financial Futures at CVOEO. Time for questions and conversation. Details in the flyer.

Tax Season - We are coming down to the wire! It's easy to feel confused, frightened. Which form do I need? What documents do I bring? Why do taxes have to be so complicated? Why do they change the rules every year! Who understands? CAN ANYBODY HELP ME? YES! The VITA program at CVOEO is here for you; there is still time to make an appointment - Call Addison Community Action in Middlebury - 802-388-2285 and ask for Elaine. If your household income is $69,000 or less, she will get you scheduled and assigned to one of our trained VITA volunteers. We are here for you!

"Gimme those tires!" That's Maddy, Addison Community Action's Home Energy Assistant, working the scene at this year's Wheels for Warmth tire drop-off in Williston. She took a minute to have a picture taken with Paul, E.D. Meanwhile, Laura and Zoraida were working the Halloween crowd in Middlebury giving out candy on the Green. Addison Community Action - working in, for and with the communities we serve.
