Church Groups Hammer Out Migrant Housing Compromise
A compromise migrant housing bill emerges from church groups aiming to strengthen enforcement of housing standards via the State Department of Health. The proposal drops a dedicated migrant labor division but adds enforcement provisions and would involve health department inspections of camps before occupancy. The Shaftsbury Methodist Church leads the effort with Bennington and Vermont Church Councils, facing some pushback from partner agencies.
