Burlington supports bridge and transitional housing through partnerships with Pathways Vermont, ANEW Place, and Champlain Housing Trust, leveraging Vermont General Assistance and federal CoC funding.
Bridge housing in Burlington includes ANEW Place's Champlain Inn (transitional 30-90 day stays), Pathways Vermont's Housing First scattered-site placements, and Vermont General Assistance motel rooms during cold months. The Burlington Continuum of Care coordinates entry and triage. The city's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CDO Article 9), the first in the US when adopted in 1990, dedicates 15-25% of units in residential developments of five or more units to income-restricted households, supplying long-term targets for households moving on from bridge programs.
Bridge housing program rules vary, with non-compliance typically resulting in transfer to alternative shelter rather than termination, consistent with Pathways' Housing First philosophy.
