Homeless Initiative Advisory Committee (HIAC) Meeting
October 28, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EDT
The Asheville-Buncombe Homeless Advisory Committee is a joint committee of the Asheville City Council and the Buncombe County Commission. It exists to provide oversight for implementing the Five Year Plan. It seeks to accomplish this by sharing, applying and tracking groundbreaking strategies that make a permanent and measurable difference in homelessness in Asheville and Buncombe County. From what we have observed, the “groundbreaking strategy” has been to ignore the tax-paying citizenry and to throw every dollar they can find at the issue.
The Homeless Initiative Advisory Committee meetings are scheduled for the last Friday of each month at 9:00 A.M.
As of Friday, October 28, 2022, the Homeless Initiative Advisory Committee (HIAC) will meet in person. The meeting location will be at the Housing Authority located at 165 S French Broad Ave, Asheville, NC 28801 in the Board Room.

I think the Ramada Inn needs to be turned into a free drug treatment facility to actually try to help the homeless addicts get their lives back instead of just giving them a place to stay and continue the same lifestyle
