Brenda Siegel: Slept on Statehouse steps for 27 nights for homeless funding

She said she has built name recognition over several years working with advocacy organizations and in the Statehouse to press for housing and drug policy reforms. Last fall, she and other activists made headlines for sleeping on the Statehouse steps in order to pressure the Scott administration to extend the state's motel voucher program for Vermonters without permanent housing. After Siegel's cohort camped for 27 cold nights, officials extended the program through the winter.
