On Thursday, February 15, Pam Anderson, Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Coalition presented to the City Council during the Mayor’s Spotlight on Homelessness program. One of the goals in the Coalition's 10 year plan to end homelessness is to increase community awareness of the issue in our local community. To learn more about the Spotlight, watch this video. 
In late January during the twice yearly Point In Time Count, the Coalition identified 3 individuals as homeless during the overnight street count. The following day, over 80 individuals attended the Project Connect Resource event, designed to connect people with housing challenges to resources that can help. Volunteers from the State College of Beauty and retired beuticians also provided free haircuts. Check out the before and after photos of John to the left. He had a job interview coming up and was very grateful for the new look.
