Program Summary
Homelessness is a national problem; yet addressing the issue with any meaningful solutions, has been left to local governments and nonprofits. Throughout Florida, local governments, nonprofits, and business leaders have worked together, in varying degrees, to respond to this issue. Sarasota County, the City of Sarasota, and the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness are leading examples of what is being done in their region to identify solutions to this important public issue. Presenters for this month's webinar will discuss their challenges and offer the steps taken to mitigate and improve homelessness in Sarasota County.
