22 | | - | finds, determines, and declares that: |
---|
23 | | - | (a) The state of Colorado is focused on supporting communities to |
---|
24 | | - | create proven responses to homelessness that are designed to connect |
---|
25 | | - | people without stable housing to services, care, and housing to help ensure |

35 | | - | (b) The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated Colorado's |

36 | | - | homelessness and behavioral health crisis. Many communities do not have |

37 | | - | sufficient responses to address housing and behavioral health needs for their |
---|
38 | | - | community members. |
---|
39 | | - | (c) People experiencing homelessness with chronic behavioral |
---|
40 | | - | health issues face many challenges in accessing long-term treatment and are |

41 | | - | far more likely to receive care in hospital emergency departments. Without |

---|
46 | | - | and well-being of Coloradans. Extensive research shows that housing is an |
