Summary
The legislation extends Vermont Legal Aid’s Tenant Representation Pilot Program and adds more eligible renters in Lamoille and Windsor counties. It lets the agency enter appearances for tenants facing eviction, provided they meet income or rent‑burden criteria, and requires periodic reporting on outcomes. The goal is to see whether representation reduces writs of possession and homelessness.
