About LeARN
Lamoille Area Recovery Network (LeARN) is dedicated to supporting disaster survivors in overcoming obstacles on their path to recovery. We manage a Disaster Recovery Fund that offers essential financial assistance to flood and other natural disaster survivors, and our navigators connect individuals with emergent and well-established resources. Through our outreach initiatives, we provide crucial information on recovery services tailored to meet the needs of all affected individuals. Our comprehensive support encompasses financial aid, construction and repair assistance, and guidance through complex state and federal application processes, ensuring no one faces recovery alone.
We believe that every disaster survivor can reclaim their life, rebuild their community, and inspire resilience in others.
