Friends of JoCo Developmental Supports just completed their 24th home. Big shout out to KSU for making this home possible and creating another step toward more accessible and inclusive housing for residents. I got a first look at the Merriam project — excited to see what’s next!

Neither sleet, ice, or snow storm will prevent local government from meeting and conducting business on behalf of the people and ensuring good government prevails. I always appreciate the opportunity to provide a County update at one of the 11 cities that I represent on the JOCO Commission.

Honored to be the guest of my State Representative Rui Xu
at the State of the State. I am excited that Governor Kelly's top priorities include: combating childhood hunger through free lunches, preserving the state’s water supply, and making early childhood services easier to access.

The program using federal COVID Relief funds has successfully brought together tenants and landlords to work together to create an agreement. 81 percent of these families have no prior evictions. The vast majority are working poor making less than $30,000 each year with minor children.

I was proud to receive the "Excellence in Community Services Award" from United Community Services for bringing forth this brand new Eviction Meditation Program to JOCO that now has prevented around 400 individuals from homelessness. The majority being single female-headed families with children.
