We understand that losing or having a reduction in your SNAP (3SquaresVT) benefits may raise concerns about your housing costs. Please know that this change will not affect your Section 8 rent calculation. SNAP benefits are not counted as income when determining your rent portion, so your rent amount will stay the same even if your food benefits change.

If you’ve recently lost or had a reduction in your SNAP benefits and need assistance, you can:

• Contact CVOEO (Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity) at www.cvoeo.org or call (802) 862-2771 for help with food access and financial counseling.
• Visit your local food shelf and Salvation Army for immediate support with groceries.
