Loveland Committee Urges City Funding for Homeless Shelter, Seeks Regional Partnerships
What happened
A committee in Loveland tasked with addressing homelessness is urging the city to fund emergency overnight shelter for unhoused individuals. The committee will present its recommendations and a progress report to the City Council on Tuesday. Since its formation, the committee has met with several nonprofits, including Homeward Alliance, Neighbor to Neighbor, Serve 6.8, the Salvation Army, and Women’s Work, and visited service providers in Loveland and neighboring communities.
