Strategy And Sustainability: Building A Permanent Foundation

In recent weeks, the conversation surrounding the challenges facing our homeless neighbors in Putnam County has grown louder. We see the posts, we hear the frustrations, and we acknowledge the outcry. It is no secret that the current system is fragmented and, in many ways, broken.

However, at the Putnam County Homelessness Solutions Coalition, we believe that identifying a problem is only the first step. The second—and most vital—step is building a permanent foundation to fix it.

If you believe in a cause, NEVER GIVE UP! In only a month we had news media attention. Less than two months, we have local politicians standing up against the rest of them and a news reporter is interested in attending our next homeless meeting.

We're dismantling corruption, exposing the truth about homelessness and the lack of resources, building tight cooperation between nonprofits across the county, and pushing for new legislation on the state level. All this is being accomplished because we refuse to be sit down and be silenced while our neighbors go homeless across the county.

Your voice can bring change. It's a process, full of bureaucratic red tape you'll have to cut through, but you can do it.

I'm not saying we've achieved our goal in this short time but things are in motion and our voice is growing in number.

So far the #nonprofits I've been meeting w/ in my area, & a #Palatka City Commissioner, agree too many are doing the same & getting nothing done in the process. This week I'm meeting with all nonprofits across #PutnamCounty #Florida. We're working on better inter-organization cooperation to better collaborate on programs instead of multiple starting the same project, leading to wasted resources. So resources can be better spent, and bring additional programs and services into the county for those experiencing #homelessness.

Next on my agenda is meeting with #CrescentCity, #PomonaPark, #Welaka, and #Interlachen city councils; continue meeting with Palatka City council; and get on one of the councils with the the CoC, preferably the LEC since I've been #homeless myself.

I started a simple investigation into the closure of the only #homelessshelter in our area, and it morphed into a movement. And the more key players are positioning me to the point of contact between the nonprofits, the CoC, and city and county councils. I'm told it's because I have lived experience and I'm younger than all the other key people involved.

I just pray what we're doing actually works to get another shelter and more services in our county to help these people get back on their feet.
