The Burlington Free Press reports that HomeShare Vermont, "a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting elderly residents and people with disabilities in Chittenden, Addison and Grand Isle counties to live independently in their own homes by connecting them with persons seeking affordable housing or caregiving opportunities," has "received national recognition from the Federal Administration on Aging (AoA) as a 2008 National Aging Program Champion." Notably, "the designation highlights programs and initiatives in States and communities that demonstrate the principles of the AoA’s efforts to modernize community-based long term care and provide supports that enable older Americans to maintain their independence in the community for as long as possible."
