Community forum on housing problems set for Nov. 14
A community forum on local housing concerns will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, at the Memorial Center in Libby.
Susie Rice, a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Libby and a volunteer at the Libby Food Pantry, said that ongoing experiences led her and others to organize a forum to talk about the problems that exist and make people more informed.
"I would bet that you have been touched by the issue – knowing someone who can’t afford to rent/buy a home – knowing young people that can’t afford to move back to Libby," Rice said. "You may have even noticed someone who is living in their car with all their worldly possessions crammed around them. The food pantry is now serving 30 homeless clients. There are students at the Alternative High School who are couch surfing. Many in our community spend well over 50% of their income on rent."
