Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity

The Mission of CVOEO is to address fundamental issues of economic, social, and racial justice and to work with low-income people to achieve economic independence.

CVOEO was incorporated in 1965, and is one of five Community Action Agencies in Vermont. CVOEO serves primarily the northwestern corner of the state -- Franklin, Grand Isle, Chittenden, and Addison Counties. The three Coordinated Statewide Housing Services programs of CVOEO (the Fair Housing Project, the Mobile Home Project, and Vermont Tenants, Inc.) serve residents statewide.

CVOEO provides a wide variety of vital services to approximately eight thousand households (just over 19,000 individuals) every year. The agency functions with a staff of over 200 employees and a number of volunteers working out of approximately 18 locations plus additional Head Start "center-based" "combination classroom" sites scattered around the Champlain Valley region.
