Board of Commissioners Briefing

The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners will hold a briefing on April 21st, covering several important topics impacting the community. Discussions will center around ongoing initiatives like commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, addressing homelessness through the "Within Reach" program and the Continuum of Care (CoC), and reviewing proposed adjustments to employee health insurance premiums. Updates will also be provided on the completion of the 2025 strategic plan and potential projects utilizing disaster recovery funds.

During this briefing, the Board is expected to approve a grant application for commercial district revitalization, and formally recognize providers assisting with local admissions preferences within the CoC. While primarily an informational session, citizens may be interested in learning more about efforts to combat homelessness and the potential impact of changes to county health insurance plans.

For those interested in further engagement, upcoming dates include a CoC Membership Meeting on April 23rd and public hearings regarding the Commercial District Revitalization grant application in May and July. Details on these events, along with ongoing updates on the CoC's progress toward ending homelessness, can be found on the Buncombe County Government website.
