This Scorecard demonstrates the outcomes of well-being for Vermonters as established in Act 186, and indicators that quantify the status of these outcomes in Vermont. This list only includes those outcomes and indicators that the Agency of Human Services most directly contributes to improving through the work that we do, alongside other public, private, and non-profit sector partners.
