Policy
At COVE, we believe every Vermonter, regardless of circumstance, has a right to believe they will have health care, housing, food, a safe environment, and reasonable financial security as they move into life after their primary years of employment have ended.
State House Advocacy
State House advocacy - in which we educate, corral, give testimony and otherwise demand that Vermonters’ voices are heard in the lawmaking process - is an important part of what we do. It is our job to make sure that bills important to the wellbeing of older people remain important priorities and don’t get lost or watered down in the process.

Long Term Care
Crisis Coalition
Vermont’s long-term care statistics are sobering. Our coalition of care and advocacy organizations recognizes this is an unsustainable situation.
