Housing for 500 with City staff Amy Fraley, Carolyn Eagan and Shelly Smith

This month’s episode of Inside Bend features a discussion with three City staff members as we learn more about a topic that is very important to the City and our community: Houselessness.

There is so much that the City is working on and we wanted to give you an update on what is being done to create more shelter options for those who are experiencing homelessness.

Affordable Housing Coordinator Amy Fraley dives into the creation of the City’s First navigation center.

Recovery Strategy and Impact Officer Carolyn Eagan explains what is being done to create outdoor shelters.

And finally, Senior Management Analyst Shelly Smith describes the City’s Safe Parking Program and some of its early successes.
