HHH to Rally Support at Wednesday's Commission Meeting

Homeless Helping Homeless* has called upon the community to attend the County Commission meeting at 6 pm on Wednesday, March 5th to show their support for a plan to end homelessness. Hundreds are expected to attend. The Commissioners will receive an update on the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness. On April 17, 2007, the last full commission meeting in which a report on the 10 Year Plan was given, Commissioner Helms stated, “Before you are going to get any real commitment out of the political arena, you need to have the community to understand that [homelessness] is an issue that has consequences far beyond what we essentially trivialize.” The gathering of people is meant to demonstrate to the Commissioners that the community will to end homelessness exists and to encourage the Commission to make ending homelessness a priority.
