Our intent is that this money will be used to address our short-term crisis as well as invest in the long-term need for housing. Immediately, we must address situation in the Rio Grande neighborhood. With an overflowing emergency shelter and people camping on 500 West, we must work to get people into housing quickly as the winter freeze approaches. To be successful, we must work with other local governments and private enterprises, as well as non-profit and religious organizations, to place our chronically homeless neighbors into stable housing as soon as possible.
