On Thursday, May 27, Governor Polis and the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) announced that the national initiative known as Built for Zero has certified Fremont County, Colorado as the 12th community in the country to functionally end veteran homelessness.
“Ensuring those who have worked in service to this country have access to safe and secure housing is one of the most important things we can do, and I am pleased to see Fremont [County] leading the way in what we hope will become the new standard in our state,” said Governor Jared Polis. “We owe it to our veterans to ensure they too can build back stronger along with the rest of Colorado.”
