CERT classes open for registration; hosts note city<br>cquired Auburn Resource Center for homelessness services

On the City of Auburn podcast, hosts announced open registration for Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes and described a recent city property purchase tied to homelessness services.

Jonathan Vogler told listeners that CERT sign-ups were ongoing and that classes start in late April and continue into June, with sessions starting April 29. He directed listeners to the city's community calendar for registration and details.

During a trivia question the hosts identified the Auburn Resource Center as a building the city purchased in late 2024 or early 2025 that now houses many of the city's homelessness resources. The podcast presented that information as factual in response to a trivia prompt; Angie Bogosian noted the buildingy name during the quiz.

Why it matters: CERT trains residents to assist in neighborhood-level emergency response, giving community members preparedness skills. The Auburn Resource Center is noteworthy because consolidating homelessness services into a central facility affects how residents and service providers access support.

Listeners were directed to the City of Auburn community calendar for CERT registration and to city channels for more information about the Resource Center.
