## Resource

South Burlington is rolling out a bold new plan to fight homelessness, including a proposed 100-bed shelter on Williston Road — part of a citywide push to build safer, more supportive infrastructure. The council will debate the proposal alongside potential ordinance changes targeting public alcohol and e-moto use, while also exploring a groundbreaking partnership with the Howard Center to embed caseworkers directly within the police department. City Manager Jessie Baker says this response is driven by community growth and the urgent need to keep Burlington safe and inclusive. The big meeting starts at 6:30 PM — don’t miss it.
