In this episode with Richard Bednarski, we look into getting more details on what’s going on at the Nevada Cares Campus and the overall local government plan to help the unhoused. Our guest is Washoe County Commissioner Alexis Hill. She speaks to us as the county is taking over leadership in helping the unhoused regionally from the city of Reno after months and months of negotiations to make that happen. She’s also the new chair of CHAB the community homelessness advisory board. Unlike many others in town, Commissioner Hill always responds to emails and queries for interviews. This is a frank discussion from improving the food at the massive big tent mega shelter to logistics and staff, to renewing contracts and building better partnerships with advocates.
