Herbert Romero, community organizer in the Blaine County area, expresses concerns over housing situations in the Wood River area as phone calls continue. <\/span><\/p>\n

With housing becoming a hard guarantee for many members of the Valley, Romero voices his concerns for families in Blaine County as he continues to get phone calls about getting evicted or not being able to find stable housing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Romero and other nonprofits have found that many of these families that are coming in are being brought in by other families, being told that there are various job opportunities but also not explaining the difficulties of finding a home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest concern that we have right now is that families are inviting other families to this Valley, knowing the housing crisis that is going on,\u201d Romero said. \u201cNeighbors Helping Neighbors, The HispanicUS TaskForce, Blaine County Charitable Fund, and the Blaine County Housing Authority all are doing their best to help, but if you bring in a family from somewhere else, you have to bear everything with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Romero believes that families bringing in other family members have hope that they will find housing, but it\u2019s not fair when they don\u2019t. This affects families that come with children, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChildren can get depressed, anxious, find it hard to understand what is going on and possibly make bad decisions,\u201d Romero said. \u201cThis is a serious matter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If you know of someone that is going through this, please reach out to any of the following: Herbert Romero, Neighbors Helping Neighbors, The HispanicUS TaskForce, Blaine County Charitable Fund, or the Blaine County Housing Authority. <\/span><\/p>\n

Herbert Romero, organizador comunitario en el \u00e1rea del condado de Blaine, expresa su preocupaci\u00f3n por las situaciones de vivienda en el \u00e1rea de Wood River mientras contin\u00faan las llamadas telef\u00f3nicas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Con la vivienda convirti\u00e9ndose en una dura garant\u00eda para muchos miembros del valle, Romero expresa sus preocupaciones por las familias en el Condado de Blaine mientras contin\u00faa recibiendo llamadas telef\u00f3nicas acerca de ser desalojado o no poder encontrar una vivienda estable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Romero y otras organizaciones sin fines de lucro han encontrado que muchas de estas familias que est\u00e1n llegando est\u00e1n siendo tra\u00eddas por otras familias, siendo dicho que hay varias oportunidades de trabajo, pero tambi\u00e9n no explicando las dificultades de encontrar un hogar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLa mayor preocupaci\u00f3n que tenemos ahora es que las familias est\u00e1n invitando a otras familias a este valle conociendo la crisis de vivienda que est\u00e1 ocurriendo,\u201d dijo Romero. \u201cNeighbors Helping Neighbors, The HispanicUS TaskForce, Blaine County Charitable Fund,\u00a0 <\/span>y el Blaine County Housing Authority est\u00e1n haciendo todo lo posible por ayudar, pero si traes a una familia de alg\u00fan otro lugar tienes que llevar todo con ellos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Romero cree que las familias que traen a otros miembros de la familia tienen la esperanza de encontrar vivienda, pero no es justo cuando no lo hacen. Esto tambi\u00e9n afecta a las familias que vienen con ni\u00f1os. \u201cLos ni\u00f1os pueden sentirse deprimidos, ansiosos, dif\u00edciles de entender y posiblemente tomar malas decisiones,\u201d dijo Romero. \u201cEs un asunto serio.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
