What’s Up AVL!
The City of Asheville’s bi-monthly radio show allows the community to take a deep dive with the City of Asheville staff and departments.
You can learn about different departments and what projects are taking place in your community.
On this episode of What’s up Asheville, host Sam Parada interviews Homeless Strategy Specialist Debbie Alford. They talk about the causes of homelessness, some misconceptions, and what the City of Asheville, along with the community, is doing to address the issue.
Debbie also hosts a monthly, in-person program called the Homelessness Learning Series. This 3-part educational series offers community members the opportunity to learn more about the causes, responses, and actions that surround the homelessness issue in Asheville and the region. Originally slated to be a limited series of informational opportunities, it has proven so popular with the community, that it now takes place monthly. You can learn more or sign up to attend a series.
