Advocacy Groups Seek Declaration Of Homeless Crisis In Humboldt

BuzzFarmers

The idea of declaring a shelter crisis in Humboldt County has been considered for several years now. 

There are more homeless people than shelter beds to hold them, and a declaration of crisis could loosen up some building restrictions to allow housing to be created more quickly. 

Affordable Homeless HousingAlternatives--AHHA--plans to petition county supervisors at the November 7th meeting.  Nezzie Wade is AHHA's board president and our guest.
