County focuses on homelessness plan after listening sessions
Douglas County reiterates progress from April and May listening sessions with over 200 participants. Officials urge better data and education to increase buy in while addressing safety, hygiene, and violence concerns among those without stable housing. The plan envisions 135 supportive housing units costing $35.2 million, as officials seek clearer costs and stakeholder buy in. A July 5 budget work session and public comment remain on the commission agenda.
