What’s Up AVL! This week we talk to the Resource Engagement Support Team or REST members

Posted on December 19, 2025 by Kim Miller

What’s Up AVL!

The City of Asheville’s bi-monthly radio show allows the community to take a deep dive with the City of Asheville staff and departments.

You can learn about different projects, programs, and initiatives taking place in your community

In this episode of What’s Up, AVL!, host Sam Parada interviews Assistant Fire Chief Patrick Crudup, Lieutenant TJ Fortenberry, and Engineer Adam Hurdt on the history and work of the Resource Engagement Support Team.

Our REST members actively engage with concerned residents, business owners, and those experiencing homelessness, demonstrating our commitment to finding solutions and connecting individuals to resources.  You can learn even more on the City of Asheville website.
