The Colorado Mountain Housing Coalition (CMHC) has organized a virtual panel discussion at 3:00 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26 exploring strategies for organizing and delivering a continuum of services for unhoused individuals and families in rural communities. This virtual session will be hosted by Betsy Crum, Housing Director for the Town of Snowmass Village.
Increasingly throughout the rural central Colorado Rockies, the topic of housing insecurity, and the prospect of homelessness has gone from quiet conversation in the corners of public services meetings to an outright chorus of voices. Their message: action needs to be taken quickly, or this may spiral out of local governments’ ability to deal with it. Experts say that housing is considered a fundamental building block of community health. But with housing costs spiraling upward, that security is out of reach of an increasing number of the regions’ workforce.
The panelists for the discussion include:
- Director of Pitkin County Human Services Nan Sundeen
- West Mountain Regional Health Alliance Executive Director Cristina Gair
- Pitkin County Human Services Deputy Director Lindsay Maisch
Those interested in helping find solutions and offering services for rural county unhoused individuals are invited to attend. For more information and to register for this event go to: www.housinghealthchaffee.org/cmhc
The Colorado Mountain Housing Coalition is a 501(c)(3) organization, which started with a congressional allocation of $1 million in 2002 to help fund down payment assistance in mountain regions.
The Coalition’s purpose is to strengthen the capacity of its members to implement their housing programs and services and acts as a central organization to provide leadership, education, advocacy on public issues, and technical and supportive assistance. It works to increase the effectiveness of the rural western and mountain voice in public policy decisions affecting funding, regulations, and distribution of resources.
