On today’s Elevating Pikes Peak Women, we’re sitting down to discuss Caring for the Homeless Population of Colorado Springs…
Today, we’re chatting with Beth Hall Roalstad, the executive director of Homeward Pikes Peak, and Kayla Rockhold, a social worker from Pikes Peak Library District.
This podcast is focused on the topic of how we are caring for the homeless population of Colorado Springs in different ways. We discuss some myths about the homeless, what Homeward Pikes Peak is doing for the population, and Pikes Peak Library District’s efforts to help the homeless crisis, as well as what anyone can do to help the homeless issue in our city.

Elevating Pikes Peak Women is produced by Pikes Peak Women. Our mission is to provide a platform where women in the Pikes Peak region can become engaged and discuss civic issues about which they care deeply.
We’ve provided platforms to address healthcare reform, pay equity, community innovation, and investment, along with facilitating the meaningful contribution of women at all levels of business, government, and community. Issues may include women’s health and safety, challenges with career and family, or the actions of politicians for or against women’s rights. While such issues may be emotionally charged, we expect and maintain civility among all.
We are committed to the deliberate recruitment and support of women in leadership positions and actively work on issues that make a difference. Pikes Peak Women is an independent organization, coordinated by volunteer effort. Learn more at:
