Burlington Charity

The Committee for Temporary Shelter

COTS provides emergency shelter, services, and housing for people who are without homes or who are marginally housed. COTS advocates for long-term solutions to end homelessness.

We believe:

… in the value and dignity of every human life.

… that housing is a fundamental human right.

… that emergency shelter is not the solution to homelessness.

The story of COTS begins in 1982 when a group of concerned community members and organizations joined together to create ways to address the needs of the growing homeless population in Burlington.
