August 1st Thursday, Trip to COTS

Today, we went to Committee on Temporary Shelter in lower Church Street in downtown Burlington. The COTS established in 1983. There is a 36-bed shelter for men and woman. Now, there are 28 men and 8 women in COTS in Church Street. In this shelter, there are family shelter too but 25 families still waiting for a space to stay. People who use this shelter work in the daytime. And then, they come to this Shelter because they don’t have a place to sleep. Vermont is one of the most expensive city to live. It was very good experience for me to visit this shelter in Burlington. I didn't know there being such a place. I learned a lot of things from the COTS.
