HHH Speaks before City Council

On Monday night, Larry Young made his voice heard before Charlotte's City Council.

Overcoming his jitters, Larry delivered with great confidence: "I want to stress the point that there are a lot of homeless people in Charlotte Mecklenburg County. The number is overwhelming....I am here to beg you to consider the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness. I hope you think about it, study it, and make it your first priority to do so. "

The mayor responded with very encouraging words, though there is still much work to do to harness political will towards ending homelessness.
