Good morning, Durango.

On November 7, the League of Women Voters of La Plata County held a forum at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4031 where unhoused people shared personal stories about their struggles with jobs and health care—panelists said they need more laundry and shower facilities to help break down stereotypes. They also described hard childhoods and mental health challenges to explain why support for better services is needed.
