Head of County Commission Meets with HHH

Jennifer Roberts, leader of the County Commission, met with Homeless Helping Homeless members last Wednesday. In style, she arrived wearing her HHH T-Shirt and Hat, which members had given her during the State of the County Address.

The group discussed the importance of supportive housing and advocated for more resources directed towards the homeless getting disability quicker. Commissioner Roberts brought up several additional matters, including how Parks & Recreation has employed homeless individuals in the past to pick-up litter in the parks. HHH members saw this is a possibility to move forward our agenda item to open more doors for more employment opportunities.

Our ending question was "What do you believe in?", to which Commissioner Roberts responded (author's paraphrase) the power of love to transform. Amen.
