3. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Marilyn Heller from the League of Women’s Voters shared that the Loveland Homelessness Task Force
has an opportunity to purchase the First Christian Church in Loveland to use as a homelessness
shelter, but a petition opposing it has emerged. One proposed alternative is to direct individuals
experiencing homelessness in Loveland to the Behavioral Health Center in Fort Collins.
Lisa Cunningham shared that she recently met with Leah Johnson, who is the head of the Affordable
Housing Task Force. From what Lisa understands, their goal is to work with and enable housing
developers. They are also interested in regional solutions and collaborating with Fort Collins.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
8 /1 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 2
Jorja Whyte introduced herself as the Director of Basic Needs for ASCSU, the student government at
CSU, and a founding member of the ASCSU Housing Caucus. She informed the Board that Prospect
Plaza, which offers some of the most affordable rental units for students in Fort Collins, is shutting down
at the end of 2024. Prospect Plaza is also home to the Lumin Initiative, which offers 20-25 subsidized
units to students with demonstrated financial need. ASCSU is working with CSU Strata, who currently
owns the Prospect Plaza land, in an effort to collaborate and understand their plans for future
development of the site.
Kate Conley introduced herself as one of the co-leads of YIMBY Fort Collins, which is a local pro-
housing advocacy organization that formed in 2022, and as an architect who specializes in multifamily
affordable housing development. Kate attended the Board meeting to speak about the impacts of
parking minimums on housing affordability. YIMBY’s campaign, “People over Pavement,” advocates for
eliminating excessive parking requirements, arguing that these can significantly hinder affordable
housing development. Kate’s presentation covered a brief history of parking in Fort Collins, suggested
parking solutions, and YIMBY’s proposal to end minimum parking requirements in Fort Collins. With
Phase 2 of the Land Use Code approaching, YIMBY sees an opportunity to reevaluate zoning and
parking policies and urge City Council to consider more significant reforms to the way Fort Collins is
currently enforcing parking minimums.
Nina Clark introduced herself, sharing that she works in funding for Enterprise Community Partners.
She recently moved to Fort Collins and is attending the Board meeting to get more involved in the
community and because she is passionate about making housing more affordable.
4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Claire Bouchard motioned to approve the June 6 Regular Meeting Minutes. John Singleton seconded.
Bob, Stefanie & Liz abstained. Approved 2-0.
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Welcome New Board Member!
• Liz Young-Winne, the newest member of the Affordable Housing Board, introduced herself, and
the existing Board members briefly introduced themselves in return.
B. Board Officer Election Conversation – Sue Beck-Ferkiss, Social Sustainability
• Sue Beck-Ferkiss explained that due to the recent changes to City Boards & Commissions’
terms, the timing for electing Board Officers can also change. The Board has the option to elect
officers this fall or align with the City Clerk’s Office schedule for February/March. Sue mentioned
that the current officers are willing to continue until then and prefer to hold elections until that
time if the Board is agreeable. The Board opted to wait until February/March 2025 for the
elections. Sue will notify the City Clerk’s Office accordingly.
C. Providers Panel – Annette Zacharias, Family Housing Network & Seth Forwood, Fort
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
8 /1 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 3
Collins Rescue Mission
• Annette Zacharias, the Executive Director of Family Housing Network, outlined the services they
offer for homeless families, including an overnight program, day center, case management,
rapid rehousing, resource navigation, and their bridge housing program, Sherwood House.
While the overnight program allows families to stay with Family Housing Network for 3-4
months, Sherwood House allows families who need more support to stay for up to a year.
• Seth Forwood, the Senior Director of the Fort Collins Rescue Mission and Harvest Farm, which
both operate under the Denver Rescue Mission, described their facilities and service. They
operate a shelter with 89 beds for men experiencing homelessness and expand by 70 additional
beds in the winter in partnership with the City to accommodate extreme weather conditions. Fort
Collins Rescue Mission is in the process of planning and zoning for a new facility that would
provide day shelter and up to 250 overnight beds. The final public hearing is on August 28.
• Sue Beck-Ferkiss provided an overview of Homeward Alliance’s programs and services which
include resource navigation, distribution of gear and supplies, housing-focused case
management, and behavioral health and employment services to families, adults, and seniors in
the community. Homeward Alliance also operates the Murphy Center, which serves as the
community’s “front door” for homeless services including a day shelter, health clinic, and
connection to on-site partner agencies and services. Homeward Alliance also serves as the
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) lead agency for the Northern Colorado
Continuum of Care.
DISCUSSION:
• How do you plan to move forward with limited resources, especially with American Rescue Plan
Act (ARPA) funds going away at the end of this year?
Community partnerships are crucial for ensuring consistent messaging and plans for our clients,
which helps reduce the time people spend in homelessness. During COVID, many nonprofits
saw a surge in funding, but now there is a nationwide decline, leading to reduced services. This
is troubling because the demand for assistance remains high. I also want people to understand
that we need both shelter services and affordable housing. People experiencing homelessness
often require immediate support to meet their basic needs before they can focus on securing
housing. Sheltering services are vital for stabilizing individuals; however, we can’t ignore that we
have people ready for housing and there aren’t options available to them.
• How are you responding to the Grants Pass v. Johnson U.S. Supreme Court decision, and do
you think the Affordable Housing Board should advocate to City Council on this issue? Seth’s
answer - We have a strong relationship with Fort Collins Police Services, so I spoke with the
Chief about how this decision might impact their work and it seems unlikely that there will be
major changes in policy or practice for Fort Collins Police. I don’t want to speak on their behalf,
but my conversation with the Chief demonstrated that they have a sensitivity to the complexities
of the issue, which is why they have established the Homelessness Outreach and Proactive
Engagement (HOPE) Team. In my community engagement efforts, I often address concerns
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
8 /1 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 4
about the new facility in north Fort Collins, and I explain that police can only enforce camping
bans when there isn’t enough shelter space, which means our guests are less likely to face
additional penalties for not having a place to sleep. To prevent adding extra burdens to people
experiencing homelessness, I believe the best approach is to advocate for the removal of the
law with City Council. Additionally, since police interact daily with homeless families – who often
remain under the radar due to fears of losing their children to Child Protective Services – we
benefit from a cooperative relationship between service providers and law enforcement. Family
Housing Network serves a largely invisible population, and while we may think the number of
homeless families is decreasing due to decreased numbers in the Point in Time count, we have
tripled our capacity at Catholic Charities and our McKinney-Vento liaisons report a 5-10%
annual increase in homeless families. This discrepancy suggests that even if shelters can
accommodate all that wants a bed, it doesn’t mean we’re serving everyone who is homeless.
Therefore, the assumption that no one is sleeping outside just because we don’t turn anyone
away is flawed and inaccurate.
• In the wintertime, Fort Collins Rescue Mission can increase the number of available beds, but
what happens in the summertime?
I don’t have exact numbers, but we have very few available beds in the summertime.
• What type of housing do people transitioning out of homelessness need the most?
Many guests at Fort Collins Rescue Mission are eligible for Mason Place and Redtail Ponds,
both of which are permanent supportive housing models. Additionally, sober living should be
considered as part of the affordable housing conversation, as it often serves as a viable option.
Many families at Family Housing Network who are using our shelter systems have high
assessment scores and need housing vouchers. However, those vouchers don’t come or the
person loses them due to a severe mental illness or other challenges that contribute to their
assessment score. Permanent supportive houses options for families would be extremely
beneficial, but we don’t have any in Fort Collins.
• Is there anything this Board can do to show our support for Fort Collins Rescue Mission’s new
facility?
Yes, we have our final hearing for building permits on August 28. A formal letter of support from
this Board submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission, or someone speaking at the
hearing, would be very beneficial.
Stefanie Berganini motioned for herself to attend the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on
August 28 to speak on behalf of the Affordable Housing Board and express the Board’s support
for Fort Collins Rescue Mission’s 24/7 Shelter project because it provides much needed shelter
support, acknowledging that there is not enough housing for everyone who is unhoused, and it
offers stabilization to help individuals achieve and maintain housing. Bob Pawlikowski
seconded. Approved 5-0.
