Collaborative continues to connect homeless to agencies to secure housing | Local

Artemis spoke bluntly and simply before she signed a lease Thursday for a studio apartment in La Crosse after being homeless for four to five years: “’ Bout damn time .” The 27-year-old Artemis, who asked that her last name not be shared publicly, became the 20th person to sign a lease in connection with the most recent goal of the La Crosse Collaborative to End Homelessness — to settle in 20 chronically homeless within 100 days. Artemis, who was raised in La Crosse and has lived in several areas of the country, had been staying on the streets and in shelters, said Tristine Bauman, who is Artemis’ case worker and arranged the apartment through the Rapid Rehousing Program tailored for homeless individuals.

An odor- control measure in Erie, letting police hit companies with tickets for foul fumes, takes effect next week. Erie, Broomfield, Thornton and Lafayette are each developing map submission rules , with leaders saying the fatal April 17 house explosion in Firestone makes this a no-brainer. Broomfield residents also will vote on whether to change their charter to require protection of health, safety and the environment as preconditions before drilling inside city limits can be done.” “At the urging of Councilwoman Polly Christensen , Longmont has posted a link on its city government home page to the City Co...

Hotel residents paid up to $1,000 a month to face bedbugs, roaches

Image
For more than two years, city inspectors have documented unsafe and squalid conditions at a weekly hotel near uptown that houses low-income families with children, the disabled and others with nowhere else to go. Inspectors found rooms with no heat or air conditioning , piles of garbage, bedbugs and broken windows among other problems at the Airport Parkway Inn and Suites. Former tenants and a neighboring business complain the building on Wilkinson Boulevard is a magnet for drugs and crime. Now, Charlotte officials are taking steps that could lead to the demolition of the hotel, a rare move the city has not taken in at least seven years against a lodging establishment. The building is part of a virtually unnoticed housing sector in Charlotte, where hundreds of people suffering from addiction and mental illness or simply with few other options depend on weekly hotel rooms for permanent shelter. While tenants avoid sleeping on the streets, they often stay in decrepit and vermin-in...
