Homelessness is an
issue that affects everyone in our community.
From the
emotional and
physical toll homelessness takes on an individual experiencing it,
to the
financial toll it takes on everyone else, and the many issues that surface in
the process, not
one of us is truly sheltered from the effects of homelessness.
We may not even recognize the
face of homelessness in our city, which not only
effects chronically homeless individuals
making their home on the streets – the
most visible members of the homeless population – but
makes its appearance in
our schools, amongst our
veterans, working
parents and
neighbors
who are
stretched just a little too far by daily expenses or overwhelming circumstances.
The need for supportive and preventative services is diverse and growing, and
the responsibility rests with the community.
