County Commission Adopts 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness



At last night's County Commission meeting, Homeless Helping Homeless and members of the community joined forces to show their support for the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness. Stacy Lowry, Director of Mecklenburg County Community Support Services, delivered an update on the 10-Year Plan to the Commissioners. Among the highlights of the evening was a speech by HHH Leadership Team member Rollon Washington. An estimated 125 people showed up to demonstrate their support for ending homelessness. HHH distributed stickers and signs communicating the importance of making ending homelessness a priority for Mecklenburg County. After much heated debate, the County Commission voted in favor of adopting the 10-Year Plan.
