Taos Homeless Shelter Faces Loss of County Backing
Taos County commissioners deadlock on a sublease plan for the Taos Coalition to End Homelessness to relocate the shelter from county land to a five acre Albright Street site. With a tie vote and looming mid July site work, the shelter loses county support despite prior donations and neighbor opposition to a Salazar Road site. The Town Council may delay action, while relocation prospects and governance questions cloud the program’s future as winter approaches.
