The millions that states received from American Rescue Plan funding in the pandemic helped with the increased need, but that was a one-time infusion of money that some areas have already spent.

BERRLIN, Vt. — Off the side of a busy road is a humble motel that has been remodeled to fit a growing need similar to that seen in communities across the country.

This area right outside the state’s capital is feeling the crush of a lack of available housing and the intense need to house people. Co-executive directors Julie Bond and Rick DeAngelis say they have been scrambling to help 100% more people than they were serving in 2019. "There will be some percentage of the folks who are in motels that will stay there with state assistance, but I am expecting that the lion's share will be, it'll just be over and they'll have to find, um, some other place to live," said Rick.

While these long-term plans fall into place at the federal level, Rick and Julie say they’re still running out of time to fit the needs of today.

Students Plan to Sue DeSantis for Rejecting AP African American Studies CourseThree high school students are planning to sue Ron DeSantis for rejecting a new high school Advanced Placement African-American studies course. Power to the students. Only because this AP class wanted to cover BLM, white entitlement, reparations, and other total BS. Why should DeSantis support a course that wants to talk about a scam organization, money not owed, and imaginary entitlement. Oh, and it covers queer theory.

Trump Unveils Plan to 'Save American Education' from 'Radical-Left Maniacs'Former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday detailed his comprehensive education policy platform to 'restore power to American parents.' Yeah He should probably hand that off to someone who either currently holds or will hold public office in the future. His pollsters must have pushed this, just like his deep religious faith. 'It is easier to con people, than to convince them they were conned'
