COME OUT OF THE COLD 3: PUBLIC FORUM TONIGHT

In partnership with Catholic Charities, the Pikes Peak Justice & Peace Commission will convene another forum to see if the community wants to draft action plans and commit resources to new solutions for our homeless neighbors. "Come Out of the Cold 3" will be held from 5:30-8 p.m. Monday, March 1 at the Marian House, 14 W. Bijou St. Participants will be invited to join one of five actions teams to develop plans for:1) a designated camping area, 2) second shelter with fewer rules to temporarily house those unable or unwilling (i.e. people with pets, couples, inebriated) to enter the Salvation Army shelter, 3) homeless employment agency to network skilled homeless workers with employers willing to hire them, 4) training volunteers to reach out to homeless campers in "community case management", 5) homeless neighbor self-representation council
