Beginning Thursday, the Greeley Housing Solutions Outreach Team will adopt updated hours to better align with community resources and meet the community’s needs after the closure of the United Way of Weld County’s shelter on Wednesday.
Between May and October, the outreach team will be available to residents from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. The outreach team was initially available on a daily basis, but after a little more than a year since its creation, the team has determined these changes would allow them to better meet the community’s needs while maintaining the same high level of service with improved consistency in availability.
The team was originally available all seven days of the week.
The outreach team is available to assist people facing challenges including mental health crises, substance abuse issues and homelessness. The team is also available to answer questions and provide support from 12-2 p.m. Wednesdays at the LINC Library, 501 8th Ave.
With the seasonal closing of the United Way of Weld County’s shelter, one of the city’s only homeless shelters, residents are reminded that they should only call 911 regarding homeless people if there is a fire, medical emergency or crime taking place. Anyone who sees something illegal, wants to report a past incident or feels uncomfortable should instead call the non-emergency police line at 970-350-9600.
Those who witness a homeless person who is being affected by drugs, in mental duress or seems to need help are advised to call the Homeless Solutions Department Outreach team at 970-351-5005.
