As a pass-through grant, the Human Services Vermont Agency Of will subsequently distribute the funds to local governments, non-profit organizations, and community action agencies to coordinate the comprehensive disaster recovery process. This award was issued on February 12, 2025 to supplement the state's broader disaster response and community resilience initiatives led by the Vermont Department of Public Safety.
