COTS is a Vermont nonprofit that addresses homelessness by offering emergency shelter, housing options, and related support services. In the Burlington area, it operates multiple shelters—the Waystation overnight shelter, the Daystation daytime drop-in center, and family shelters for parents with children—and maintains a team that helps clients access resources from state and federal programs and other community partners. The organization frames housing as a fundamental human right and sees emergency shelter as a step, not a long-term solution, toward stable housing. Founded in 1982, COTS serves people experiencing homelessness and those at risk within Chittenden County and beyond in Vermont. In late 2022, the organization appointed Jonathan Farrell as Executive Director, signaling leadership continuity as it pursues its mission.
