The Unhomed

In my opinion, homelessness is the most difficult issue we face—and there is no foolproof solution. After meeting with experts, service providers, and law enforcement, I have quickly learned this is not something Boulder can tackle on its own. What we need is a coordinated, regional approach that includes more mental health support, transitional and sober housing, and truly accessible permanent supportive housing. I’m committed to working closely with staff, nonprofit partners, the county, and the state to make sure we’re not just managing homelessness, but moving people into stability. Everyone deserves dignity and support, and we can only protect our public spaces if we also help people access the help they need, because living on the streets is not a compassionate solution.
