With homelessness on every candidate’s lips this election cycle, a group of local advocates are taking inspiration from a Medford-based organization to help solve the problem.
But since the issue is multi-faceted, True North Organizing Network’s Homeless Organizing Committee and Pastor Dana Gill Port of the Crescent City United Methodist Church are seeking guidance from the community and from those experiencing homelessness.
The organization formed the Homeless and Housing Advisory Group, or HHAG, at the request of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors to help make the county competitive for state No Place Like Home dollars, True North lead organizer Kevin Malone told the Wild Rivers Outpost on Tuesday.
