17吃瓜网

The 17吃瓜网 is making strides to address homelessness, aiming to establish 15 Ending Homelessness Task Forces by 2027. These task forces are regional teams of church members, pastors, and those dedicated to addressing homelessness.

Recently, two new task forces were launched in Contra Costa and Mendocino counties. Joelle Chinnock, Ending Homelessness Initiative Coordinator, shared, 鈥淲e are pleased to announce these new groups and are close to聽launching a fourth in the Marin-Sonoma area. This progress reflects a growing聽commitment to addressing homelessness in at least one population group鈥攃hronic homeless individuals, veterans, adults with children, or youth鈥攊n every county where the Adventist Church is present, ensuring homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring.鈥�

Task force members will join their respective county鈥檚 Continuum of Care, agencies which collaborate to address homelessness issues. Josie Asencio, pastor of the Antioch church and leader of the Contra Costa County task force, stated, 鈥淚聽have been attending area Continuum of Care meetings to prepare for our task force鈥檚 first official planning session. I am so impressed that many in our area are motivated for this mission.鈥�

Chinnock concluded, 鈥淚 am encouraged by these new task force volunteers. Each new team moves the 17吃瓜网 Ending Homelessness Initiative closer to聽its goal.鈥�
