Greeley Considering Shelter and Housing Alternatives

The City of Greeley officials are exploring ideas to address homelessness and affordable housing issues facing the community. “Our non-profit partners, neighboring municipalities, the county and city are currently providing programs and facilities to address homelessness in Greeley, but we need to engage the community on more long term solutions,” said
Greeley City Manager Raymond Lee. “I encourage everyone to participate in the upcoming community conversations to share your ideas and thoughts on this important community issue.” People are encouraged by the project team to visit greeleygov.com/homelessandhousingservices.

• Evaluating existing sources of information;
• Analyzing what might be driving demand locally and regionally;
• Evaluating best practices;
• Providing opportunities for engagement and public involvement;
• Estimating costs of potential solutions and recommendations;
• Outlining financial feasibility, funding options and key next steps.
Officials anticipate the scoping and assessment of possible sheltering and housing alternatives to take approximately six months.
