Meeting the Committee
There is a need to implement a systemic response with actionable strategies to prevent, reduce and end chronic individual homelessness, specifically to develop and implement a path forward to achieve a functional end to individual homelessness throughout St. Lucie County.
In furtherance of these goals, the Board established a One St. Lucie Community Homelessness Task Force to explore and evaluate the issues and needs in St. Lucie County relative to homelessness and provide recommendations on ways to address the issue of homelessness in St. Lucie County.
The Task Force recommended the Board establish a Homeless Advisory Committee to develop a Plan to End Homelessness as conceived by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
