Right here in our community, according to a recent<br />
point-in time-study, there are approximately<br />
591 local people who are homeless. With<br />
approximately 419 beds available in emergency<br />
shelters and transitional housing programs,<br />
this leaves nearly 200 men, women and<br />
children who may find themselves homeless<br />
on any given night in the community we call<br />
home.<br />
Solving Homelessness for <strong>Good</strong><br />
United Way of Cass-Clay changing the way<br />
we address issues like homelessness,<br />
hunger, poverty, and mental health.<br />
We’re bringing the right partners<br />
together to tackle the source and<br />
root cause <strong>–</strong> not just the symptoms.<br />
We invite the community to “Be a<br />
Force for <strong>Good</strong>.” “For good” means<br />
that we not only want to make a<br />
positive impact, but we want to<br />
solve issues like homelessness<br />
not just for one night, or<br />
temporarily <strong>–</strong> but permanently,<br />
through housing navigators<br />
who put “Housing First.”<br />
