#BurlingtonVT startup #NthCycle scores billion-dollar metal #recycling deal

By Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff, March 17, 2026

"Both Nth Cycle and Ascend have developed water-based technologies to extract metals by reprocessing 'black mass,' the ground-up remnants of worn-out #lithiumIon batteries. They can also use the leftover scrap generated by battery manufacturers. Both companies claim that their technologies can capture these metals while generating far less #ToxicWaste than other recycling methods."

Here’s where #Vermont shelters are opening to help in #extremeCold

We made a map of shelter locations with information on how to use them.

by Carly Berlin January 22, 2026, 5:05 pm

This story, by Report for America corps member Carly Berlin, was produced through a partnership between #VTDigger and #VermontPublic.

Updated on Jan. 23 at 4:38 p.m.

"With subzero temperatures expected to set in on Friday, communities across Vermont are opening emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness.

VTDigger/Vermont Public confirmed that nine extreme cold weather shelter locations will be open over the weekend. Most are part of a state-funded network of overflow shelters that activate when temperatures fall into the negatives as an attempt to save lives. You can find information on how to access those shelters below.

Other communities may open more informal shelters, too. Vermont Emergency Management suggests calling your town office to ask about local warming centers or to call 2-1-1 to find a facility near you.

#BenningtonVT

Bennington’s extreme cold shelter is located at 200 Pleasant St., at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

It will be operating on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, according to Roxanne Carelli, executive director of operational development and shelter services at Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless.

The shelter will be open from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night.

The space has capacity for 35 people.

Adults, families, and unaccompanied minors are allowed, according to Carelli. Sex offenders will not be admitted. Well-behaved pets will be allowed.

#BrattleboroVT

Brattleboro’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Beloved Community church at 18 Town Crier Dr.

The shelter typically operates Sunday through Thursday nights throughout the winter. It will activate on Friday and Saturday night this week for the cold snap, according to Rick DeAngelis, a project officer with Vermont Interfaith Action, the organization that oversees the cold weather shelters.

The shelter will be open from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

It has space for 15 people.

Only adults are allowed, and pets must be registered as service animals to be admitted, DeAngelis said.

#BurlingtonVT

Burlington’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Miller Center in the city’s New North End neighborhood, at 130 Gosse Court.

The shelter will open for four consecutive nights – Friday night through Monday night – according to a press release from Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak.

The shelter will open at 5 p.m. and close at 8 a.m. each day. It has a capacity for 100 people.

Only adults will be admitted, and pets are allowed. Transportation will be provided from several locations in the city’s core to the shelter: 95 North Ave. (COTS Daystation), 228 N. Winooski Ave. (Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity’s Community Resource Center) and the Fletcher Free Library.

#MontpelierVT

Montpelier’s extreme cold shelter is located inside City Hall at 39 Main St.

The shelter will open tonight (Thursday, 1/22) according to Montpelier Emergency Cold Weather Shelter’s website. Shelter coordinator Andrea Stander said she intends to keep the shelter open Friday and Saturday if volunteer staffing allows.

This shelter uses a higher threshold – 10 degrees – to open. That means Stander is eyeing remaining open throughout the coming week, she said.

The shelter opens at 8 p.m. and closes at 8 a.m.

Pets are not allowed at this shelter. There’s space for 15 people.

#BarreVT

Barre’s extreme cold shelter is located at the Barre Congregational Church at 35 Church St.

It will be open Friday night through Tuesday, according to the Montpelier shelter website.

Its hours are 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

#NewportVT

Newport’s cold weather shelter is located at 371 Main St.

It will be operating Friday night and Saturday night, according to Casey Winterson, director of economic and community based services for Northeast Kingdom Community Action.

The shelter will be open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

The shelter is open to adults over the age of 18 and has 12 beds. No pets are allowed.

#RandolphVT

An extreme cold weather shelter will operate at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Randolph, located at 15 Summer St.

The shelter will open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 5:30 p.m. until 10 a.m., according to a press release from the Vermont Agency of Human Services.

#RutlandVT

Rutland’s extreme cold shelter is located at the city’s library at 10 Court St.

The shelter will open on Friday and Saturday nights, according to Tom Morgan, project officer with Vermont Interfaith Action.

Its hours are 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.

It has space for 20 people.

#SpringfieldVT

Springfield’s extreme cold weather shelter will be located at 139 Main St. at the Springfield Community Center, according to Tara Chase, operations director at Springfield Supported Housing Program.

It will be open Saturday night and Sunday night.

The hours are 6 p.m. until 7 a.m.

The space has capacity for 10 people.

As bitter cold hits #Vermont, new shelters open for the first time this season

by VTDigger, December 9, 2025

Excerpts: "Emergency shelters in Barre and Brattleboro opened Thursday, offering relief to people without housing.

[...]

"These temperatures are not uncommon for Vermont in the winter, Danzig said, but he still recommended people to cover their face in higher winds to avoid frostbites, wear several layers of clothes and make sure pets are inside.

"The Office of Economic Opportunity at the Department for Children and Families has recently created a new Extreme Cold Weather Shelter Program, in partnership with Vermont Interfaith Action, to support people experiencing homelessness during periods of extreme cold.

"The program will operate from Dec. 1 to April 1, when temperatures reach at least -10 degrees Fahrenheit, with projects in #BenningtonVT, #BurlingtonVT, #NewportVT, #RutlandVT, #BarreVT, #MontpelierVT and #BrattleboroVT, Lily Sojourner, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, said.

"The shelters in Barre and Brattleboro opened for the first time Thursday night and provided relief for 26 people, according to Sojourner. Sojourner said this program is just one of many others operating this winter, including the General Assistance Emergency Hotel Program and seasonal shelters across the state.

"Tess Taylor, homeless and housing liaison for the city of Barre, said the shelter at the Congregational Church also hosted people in need on Thursday. The space has a capacity of 12 people and will continue to operate when temperatures are around zero, providing food, cots and blankets, Taylor said."

From the State of Vermont's website:

"#ExtremeCold Weather #Shelter Program Providers:

Bennington County – Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless
Chittenden County – Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity
Northeast Kingdom – Northeast Kingdom Community Action
Rutland County – City of Rutland
Washington County – Barre Congregational Church & Montpelier Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, Inc.

The State of Vermont’s Extreme Cold Weather Shelter Program (#ECWSP) is designed to support community-based emergency shelter operations during periods of extreme cold for individuals experiencing homelessness who have no other safe housing option. The goal of the ECWSP is to prevent cold-related illness or death by ensuring access to safe, temporary shelter during Vermont’s severe winter weather."
