Letter to the editor: Still searching for a home

I’ve noticed that housing is in an issue. Well, I can tell. I can relate. I’m homeless and I have no home. I can’t find housing for myself, my dog or my husband. All the housing here is for people 65 or older. But what about people who aren’t 65 or older. What about those people? I’m out here sleeping in the cold. I do work but it takes so much to save and with rising prices on everything it’s extremely hard. Homeless need to be helped. Vermont is ranked number two in the U.S.A. for having a high rate. California is number one. This is a huge problem, and it needs to be addressed before no one wants to live here anymore.
