Addison Winslow

Council member Addison Winslow weighs in on the lead two progressive candidates for city council have over their opponents in early election results.

Chico City Council member Addison Winslow is criticizing the way the city handled homelessness policy negotiations. He claims the city has refused to negotiate in good faith, or make changes to its policies.

The nonprofit Safe Space had identified a potential new location for its intake and cooling center, but city officials say they'll need to go through a lengthy application process. Now, Safe Space is requesting the process to be expedited.

The emergency winter shelter has moved its intake center to an outdoor church parking lot following fines and threats of legal action from the city.

Chico City Council member Addison Winslow was issued a cease and desist letter by the city attorney last week requesting the councilmember halt disclosing information from closed sessions. The letter wasn’t specific with the information disclosed but Winslow says it’s likely referring to his conversations with local press about the city’s recently filed amicus brief regarding homelessness.
