The issue of homelessness covers a broad spectrum, so our focus will be on the approximate 35% who are either chronic substance abusers and/or mentally ill. We feel those are the most vulnerable, most difficult to reach, and pose the greatest danger to themselves and our community. Most are already aware of the problems, so that will not be the topic of this conversation. We want to focus our attention on SOLUTIONS. Offering suggestions, offering your time for volunteer opportunities and the like. This grassroots community involvement could help greatly reduce the incidents in our neighborhoods and get those in need the help they so need and deserve. Please attend the February 2, 2023, UHCA community meeting at Birney Elementary at 6:45 pm, so that we may come together once again as a community to discuss solutions that will a difference and make our neighborhoods safe for all.
