I worked at a shelter in rutland for many years. The holiday Inn was disgusting the manager of the holiday Inn in rutland that came to speak with us was a pretty deplorable guy saying it was worth the cost of keeping them there at $74 dollars per person per night.
The state pays homeless shelters a MAXIMUM of 35.08 a night the last I knew generally it was closer to $5
The hotel program basically gave hotel owners money hand over fist like every other program put in place in the past 3-4 years they're are put in place to line the pockets of the already wealthy.

This is really saddening to hear, I see no reason why a shelter should not be afforded the same funding as these hotels which are private.

The Cortina Inn is particularly egregious. It boggles the mind that the State just let these people charge whatever they want.
