Recent state funding is set to address homelessness in Montrose and Delta counties, reports the Montrose Daily Press. The City of Delta, with a Transformational Homelessness Response Grant of $1.9 million, plans to renovate and operate a day shelter alongside the seasonal Abraham Connection overnight shelter.
The grant supports street outreach and emergency services for up to three years. Delta also received a $1.2 million Transformational Affordable Housing Grant, facilitating the purchase and operation of the county's old work-release building as a homeless shelter. Hilltop Family Resource Centers secured a homelessness response grant in Montrose and Delta. The grants are part of over $47 million allocated statewide to prevent or end homelessness.
Paonia secured a right-of-way access from a small property owned by the Delta County School District. According to the Delta County Independent, the request is part of a $1 million grant project with the Colorado Department of Transportation to create a safer route for children in the town. The grant requires all right-of-ways to be in place, including ADA compliance, additional crosswalks, and sidewalks. The move addresses past incidents of people being struck by vehicles.
