Salida City Council will discuss an âopen doorsâ emergency housing program to provide housing for city employees during their work session at 6 p.m. Monday. In a memo to council, Bill Almquist, community development director, said, âThis program would target short-term rental owners, second home owners, and others to âopen their hearts and mindsâ to the housing emergency so that they might âopen their doorsâ to members of our workforce who need housing immediately. This program is meant to be a temporary âbridgeâ to a point in the future (hopefully not much more than a couple years) when we have a more adequate supply of affordable/attainable rental units for the entire local workforce.â
