- FEMA's plodding bureaucracy exacts financial toll on Vermont towns
- Date posted
- 2 years ago
- Description
- Towns in at least five counties that were part of the 2023 federal disaster declaration have yet to get reimbursed from FEMA for catastrophic damage to critical infrastructure. According to FEMA’s own numbers, nearly 60% of public assistance requests submitted by towns had yet to be approved as of Sept. 6.
Earlier this summer, Vermont Public published a report that spotlighted systemic failures in FEMA’s individual assistance program for flood survivors. A subsequent investigation, which includes interviews with town clerks, select board members and other municipal officials, shows structural problems in the agency’s public assistance program as well.
Vermont Public's Peter Hirschfeld has the story in our bio.

- Description
- Vermont’s hospitals are in trouble. A new analysis found that the state’s hospitals would need as much as $3 billion in subsidies — from commercial insurance increases or taxpayers — to remain solvent over the next five years, if immediate steps aren’t taken.
“There is no hospital in Vermont that is not in jeopardy,” stressed the consultant who led work on the report. Recommendations include closing inpatient beds and converting emergency departments into urgent care centers at Gifford Medical Center, Grace Cottage, North Country, and Springfield hospitals.

In our fourth and final episode of the special series “Stereo-anti-types,” we tackle one of the most “biggest” stereotypes out there about the Black body today: the myth of the big Black penis. Host Myra Flynn speaks with Black men, including a porn star, about how this myth affects their lives and their profession, and a female sexologist who knows a lot about the origin of this stereotype that plagues Black men. A heads up that this episode is explicit, and maybe even hard to listen to. But here on Homegoings we believe most of the important stuff usually is.

- Is Vermont’s motel program a ‘magnet’ for out-of-staters experiencing homelessness?

- Description
- For as long as Carly Berlin has been reporting on housing issues for Vermont Public and VTDigger, she’s been hearing some version of this question: Is Vermont’s rise in homelessness due to unhoused people moving here from out-of-state?
She hasn’t been able to track down an easy answer to this question. And in the absence of information, the idea that Vermont’s benefits are a “magnet” for those experiencing homelessness has taken root, from the aisles of grocery stores to the Statehouse floor. It’s a narrative that’s shaping the conversation about homelessness in Vermont, and what the state should do to address it.
But is it even true? In this episode, Carly goes digging for data.

- There’s some irony in freedom because freedom is inherently unfree. It’s something to be defended, fought for, stood up for. It’s been hard-won in a lot of our history. It’s also elusive. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes, it isn’t even an option. So, what is freedom? How do you know when you have it? What does it sound like? How do you get more of it? This episode works to create some cognitive dissonance, on purpose, between the sounds of freedom and the reality of it. With the live sounds of Independence Day, and a candid conversation with Speech, lead MC and singer of the band Arrested Development. He is fighting for freedom in his own way.
