In response to the latest local, state and federal recommendations regarding social distancing and in an effort to protect vulnerable community members, the City of Fort Collins is using Northside Aztlan Community Center (112 E Willow St.) as a day time and overnight shelter for those experiencing homelessness beginning March 19 at noon until April 10.
This is a part of the City’s ongoing efforts to protect the community and limit the potential spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus).
“Those who are experiencing homelessness are some of our most vulnerable community members,” says Chief Sustainability Officer, Jacqueline Kozak Thiel, “and providing 24/7 shelter will help these community members abide by CDC recommendations and give them a healthy and safe place to rest during this uncertain and unprecedented time.”
