Beth sits down with long-time friend and professional colleague, Aimee Cox - chief of the Housing and Homelessness Response Department. The core activity of the City of Colorado Springs Housing and Homelessness Response Department is the strategic management and investment of public funds to strengthen neighborhoods, increase the availability of quality affordable housing, and prevent and address homelessness.

Formerly known as the Housing and Community Vitality Department, the renamed Housing and Homelessness Response Department clarifies its focus on creating a thriving community by tackling housing instability and homelessness. While the department does not typically provide direct services to individuals, it acts as a crucial hub for funding and coordinating with non-profit organizations and other agencies that do.
