罗利市议会要求市长下周前提交解决无家可归问题的方案
北卡罗来纳州罗利市议会10月20日一致投票，要求市长 Janet Cowell 在10月27日市议会会议前提交一份解决无家可归问题的方案，以出资聘请辖区协调员的方式介入治理。过去两年，市府考虑过在 Moore Square 建大型庇护所、购买逊尼派克旅馆等方案，均告流产；8月市府还关闭了市中心一座无家可归者营地。
刚当选连任的市议员 Stormie Forte 表示，此举“是早该做的事”，市周边县市的无家可归者都在往罗利市中心聚集。市议员 Mary Black 补充，汇聚资源和数据而非各自为战才是上策。新当选议员 Mitchell Silver 指出市里还缺一个统一的枢纽机构。
市长 Cowell 坦言市府花了太多时间“讨论可行性”而没能真正行动。她引用全国终结无家可归者联盟的数据称，全国无家可归者总数2023年至2024年间增长了18.1%。（GSM 据 HR Dive 报道）

Raleigh City Council Asks Mayor for a Plan to Address Homelessness by Next Week
The Raleigh City Council in North Carolina voted unanimously on October 20 to ask Mayor Janet Cowell to present a plan to address homelessness by the October 27 council meeting, centered on funding a district coordinator role. Over the past two years the city has considered and abandoned options including a large shelter at Moore Square and buying the Sunni Park motel; in August it closed a downtown homeless encampment.
Councilmember Stormie Forte, recently re-elected, called the step 'a long time coming,' noting that people experiencing homelessness from surrounding counties converge on downtown Raleigh. Councilmember Mary Black said pooling resources and data, rather than working in silos, is the better approach, and newly elected member Mitchell Silver said the city still lacks a central coordinating hub.
Mayor Cowell acknowledged the city had spent too much time 'discussing feasibility' without acting. She cited National Alliance to End Homelessness data showing the national homeless population grew 18.1% between 2023 and 2024. (GSM, from HR Dive reporting)
