Issue Position: Healthy Thriving Communities
Issue Position
Issues: Family
Vermont's population is aging, and our young adults and families are struggling to make ends meet. Too many are moving out of state in search of a brighter future. The response to these changing demographics has been to try and lure people to relocate to Vermont, but to truly address the problem, first we need to examine why people are leaving. If we do not create policy that responds to these issues, our efforts to have people relocate to Vermont will be futile.
We must build strong sustainable communities and systems that ensure all Vermonters can thrive. This is how we will retain our youth and our young families, and this is how we will get people to relocate permanently to Vermont.
