Bill H.197 aims to establish peer support positions across the State of Vermont, specifically designed to assist individuals who have experienced homelessness. The initiative focuses on leveraging the lived experiences of these peer supporters to help others navigate the challenges of achieving housing stability.

The bill emphasizes the importance of peer support in addressing homelessness and aims to create a structured framework for these positions within the state's human services and housing sectors. By integrating individuals with firsthand experience into the support system, the bill seeks to enhance the effectiveness of services provided to unhoused individuals.
