In late July the City of Glenwood Springs hosted a virtual town hall webinar on homelessness. The meeting came about a month after a fire broke out in a rugged gully northeast of Walmart, causing a nearby apartment building to be evacuated. Although the fire lasted less than a day and reached only one and a half acres in size, its proximity to the town and likely origin in a homeless camp caught officials’ attention. The panel included Glenwood’s Chief of Public Safety, Fire Marshall, Parks and Recreation director, the District Attorney and Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario.KDNK reporters Lily Jones and Amy Hadden Marsh and News Director Marilyn Gleason all attended the Zoom meeting separately. In Part 2 of our reporter's roundtable, Amy Hadden Marsh digs into the private property inhabited by the unhoused at the Palmer Fire, and Marilyn Gleason remarks on law enforcement's 'revolving door.'

Conversations around, and responses to intimate partner crime are often full of inaccuracies and misunderstandings.
