Apcha Asked to Involve Social Services in Local Housing Issues
The Aspen (CO) Daily News (4/17) reports, "Social service agencies must be more involved with the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority (APCHA) in order to combat homelessness, agreed local government officials and nonprofit leaders at a Regional Homeless Coalition meeting held last week. Members of APCHA and the Regional Homeless Coalition, which is comprised of two dozen health and human services workers from Aspen to Parachute, came together to discuss APCHA's role in providing housing to those at high risk of becoming homeless." The meeting was prompted by "the housing board's recent decision to evict a woman living in employee housing for being unemployed." Some members said that such actions contribute to homelessness.
