New Aspen Acres Recovery Team forms to coordinate long-term recovery
Summary
Steven Trujillo told commissioners the Aspen Acres Recovery Team includes more than 70 people from 38 organizations, organized into eight workgroups focused on long-term recovery; the group has an intake form at aartsoco.com and is coordinating communications with county staff.
Steven Trujillo, executive director of the Housing Authority of the City of Pueblo, told the county commissioners that the Aspen Acres Recovery Team (AART) had formed to support people affected by the Aspen Acres fire and ensuing floods.
Trujillo said the team has "approximately over 70 individuals" representing more than 38 organizations and that it is structured into eight workgroups — communications and marketing; housing and construction; disaster case management; emotional and spiritual support; a recovery assistance center; a relief fund team; business support; and unmet needs. He urged residents to use the intake form at aartsoco.com to request help and said the team will rotate meetings through impacted communities.
County officials thanked Trujillo for the presentation and said the board will route county-produced weekly flyers and recovery updates through the AART communications team to ensure paper copies reach community hubs in Beulah.
Trujillo characterized the initiative as a community-wide, long-term recovery effort focused on connecting resources, avoiding duplication and listening to impacted residents. The county said it will continue to coordinate with nonprofit partners and state and federal agencies to pursue reimbursements and infrastructure projects.
