The area is a mix of rolling hills, mountains, and river valleys. The primary service area for NVRH is just over 30,000 people. (Vermont State Data Center, 2013) The area is quite rural with a population density in Caledonia county of 48.1 persons per square mile and only 9.5 persons per square mile in Essex county (US Census Quick Facts). Both counties are bordered by the Connecticut River to the east. State regulators define the service area as the 18 towns and their villages in Caledonia and s. Essex counties in northeastern Vermont: Barnet town, Burke town, Danville town, Kirby town, Lyndon town, Newark town, Sheffield town, St. Johnsbury town, Sutton town, Walden town, Waterford town, Wheelock town, Concord town, East Haven town, Granby town, Guildhall town, Lunenburg town, Maidstone town. The major population centers are St. Johnsbury, Lyndon, and Danville. All other towns have less than 2000 people. Residents of other surrounding towns including Peacham, Gilman, Ryegate, Glover, Barton, and several others consider NVRH their community hospital. Major industry in Northeast Kingdom is in the services, trade, transportation, and finance and insurance; in the past decade employment in agriculture, mining, forestry, construction, and manufacturing have declined. (Northeastern Vermont Development Association). The area boasts many recreational areas including waterfronts, ski areas, and bike and hiking paths and trails. Caledonia County is 96.5% white, 1.3% Hispanic, .7% black, all other races 1.5%. (US Census, Quick Facts).

Steering Committee members also provided primary and secondary source data generated by their respective organizations. Steering Committee Members: Laural Ruggles, NVRH VP Marketing and Community Health Improvement Justin Barton-Caplin, St. Johnsbury District Office, Vermont Department of Health Pam Smart, Care Integration Coordinator, NVRH Community Health Team, VT Blueprint for Health Jenny Patoine, Community Director, Northeastern Vermont Area Agency on Aging Shaun Donahue, District Field Director, VT Agency of Human Resources Paul Bengtson, CEO, Northeastern VT Regional Hospital Cathy Boynton, NVRH Board of Trustees Martha Ide, NVRH Board of Trustees Secondary source data for this needs assessment was provided by a variety of sources. A complete list of secondary sources reviewed for this assessment is included as an Appendix. Secondary source data collection started in November 2014 and ended in May 2015. 2 Community Input A review of secondary source data identified seniors and low income residents as the most vulnerable population in our service area. Consequently, community input focused on individuals in these groups. Primary source data collection started in February 2015 and ended in April 2015. A total of four focus groups were conducted in February and March 2015. Two groups were held at the Parent-Child Center operated by Northeast Kingdom Community Action. This program serves low income parents. Two groups were held with seniors participating in the Growing Stronger program sponsored by the Northeastern Vermont Area Council on Aging. Table 2.

Monkey) Additional Community Input Provided by Experts with Special Knowledge The Vermont Department of Health conducted an environmental scan to better understand community health needs and to identify any gaps in the public health system in southern Essex County—with emphasis in Concord, Lunenburg/Gilman, and Guildhall. 3 Staff from the Vermont Department of Health conducted 12 key informant interviews with town clerks, assistant town clerks, the Essex County Sheriff, medical staff working Concord Health Center, and board members of the Gilman Senior Center. These interviews were used to generate common themes related to community health. Four focus groups were designed related to some of the common themes identified in the key informant interviews. Due to recruitment challenges, only the youth and food access/obesity focus groups have been completed to date. The interviews and focus groups provided FIVE major themes related to Community Health: . Lack of Access to Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services . Existing Supports for Vulnerable Elderly Do Not Meet Needs . Limited Resources for Youth . Limited Transportation Negatively Impacts Access to Basic Needs . Family Relationships Offer Both Resiliency & Stress A broader description of the environmental scan methods, focus group and key interview structure, and results are included as an Appendex. The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) conducted the Community Visit program for the town of St. Johnsbury in spring 2015. VCRD’s Community Visit program actively connects grassroots community building efforts in towns across Vermont with state‐wide resources, expertise and opportunities. Each Visit brings together a broad mix of community members with a visiting resource team, made up of Council members and statewide providers (state, federal, non‐profit, and philanthropic), to create intensive partnerships and tailored work plans for long‐term local success. The Visit process is designed for community members to prioritize and choose strategic goals and vision for their community and for the state‐wide visiting resource team to provide advice and expertise to help them get there. A complete description of the process is included in the Appendix section. St. Johnsbury participants identified the following opportunities: Improve Community Communications and Promote a Positive Town Image Develop a Warming Shelter in St. Johnsbury Redevelop and Revitalize Downtown Buildings Improve Housing in Downtown St. Johnsbury Redevelop the St. Johnsbury Riverfront The Northeastern Vermont Council on Aging conducted a Meals on Wheels (MOW) survey as part of the statewide outcome Results-Based Accountability data. The time frame was Jan- March of 2015. Participants had been on MOW for between 6 weeks and 6 months; therefore, new to the program. A phone survey was conducted by volunteers. The target population is people are people 60+ as well as eligible family caregivers. Meals on Wheels helps the State of Vermont meet an important goal by assisting older Vermonters age in place in the setting of their choice with independence and dignity

  • Vermont Housing & Conservation Board Coronavirus Relief Fund
    PHOTO COURTESY OF SALLY MCCAY Vermont Housing & Conservation Board Coronavirus Relief Fund: Vermont’s Statewide Initiative WRITTEN BY MARY TINGERTHAL FOR THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS Brief Description of the Program In June 2020, as the pandemic drove a surge of homelessness, the Vermont Legislature turned to the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB) to manage $33 million in federal CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF). The goal was to keep people safe while also securing and rehabilitating permanent housing for households experiencing homelessness, and to make virus- protecting improvements in existing homeless shelters. By April 2020 there were more than 2,000 Vermonters reported as homeless, but most traditional shelters had temporarily closed because they were unable to meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) safety protocols. As with many other states and localities, Vermont’s Agency of Human Services quickly began using federal emergency relief funds to lease space in hotels and motels to provide safe emergency shelter. Non-profit housing developers and service providers in Vermont had already tested the idea of converting hotel and motel properties into supportive housing before the start of the pandemic. They had learned that buying hotels and converting them into housing, supported by payments from the State and from hospitals, was more cost effective than leasing hotel rooms, especially for medical recovery purposes. With this experience, VHCB quickly worked with these non-profit partners to develop a proposal to the State Legislature to use Coronavirus Relief Funds to create permanent housing for those who had none and to improve existing congregate shelters to comply with CDC COVID-19 guidelines.

  • Housing Plan Draft
    Housing Plan Draft I. HOUSING OVERVIEW According to the 2010 Census, there are 37,123 housing units in the Northeast Kingdom, an increase of 9.4% from 33,939 units in the previous decade. The Census defines a “housing unit” as a house, apartment, mobile home, group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Northeast Kingdom’s population in 2010 was 64,692, which represents a modest increase of 3.6% from the 2000 Census, Figure 5.1: Population and Housing Changes far slower rate of growth than the region in the Northeast Kingdom, 2000-2010 has seen in prior decades. The increase in housing units significantly outpaced the 15.0% 9.9% 10.0% rate of population change, even in Essex 9.6% 10.0% 6.3% County, which saw a net loss in 4.9% 3.6% population.
