~ Spokane City Council Postpones Homelessness Ordinances to Seek Community Input
The Spokane City Council has decided to delay the implementation of several ordinances related to homelessness in order to take a more comprehensive approach. Lisa Gardner, the City Council Communications Director, announced that the Council plans to bring together a group of stakeholders to gather input on current policies and develop suggestions for improving them.
To ensure that all voices are heard, the Council will be hosting a series of roundtable discussions with various community members and stakeholders. These discussions will include representatives from service providers, business owners, faith-based organizations, and individuals who have experienced homelessness firsthand. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the issue and work towards effective solutions.
Following these roundtable discussions, the Council will hold an open forum to discuss their findings and potential solutions for the pending ordinances. In preparation for these discussions, the Council is asking interested community members to complete a survey that will help them understand different perspectives and prepare for the meetings.

Council President Betsy Wilkerson emphasized the importance of community involvement in addressing complex issues like homelessness. "As a city, our problems are multifaceted, so our solutions must be equally complex," she stated. "That's why it's crucial to hear from our community members in order to fully understand how we can tackle this issue."
Council Member Zack Zappone echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for input from both stakeholders and those with lived experience of homelessness. "Our approach must go beyond just temporary fixes," he said. "We want to create lasting change and rebuild our community in a way that is strong and resilient."
The first roundtable discussion is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10th at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Library on 906 W. Main Ave., in room Events B. Subsequent meetings will occur every three weeks as the Council works towards finding effective solutions for addressing homelessness in Spokane.
