Topeka group is all hands on deck to help end homelessness
TOPEKA (KSNT) - All Hands on Deck hosted its final community engagement session Thursday, March 28 in Topeka.
The group is lead by the United Way of Kaw Valley and Compassion Strategies. This community session was aimed to help give people a better understanding of how to tackle the homeless issue and support systems.
The campaign wants to end chronic homelessness by the year 2030 through three starting areas.
"We have really three pillars that we are starting with," Brett Martin, United Way said. "We see the importance of a one stop shop homeless resource center. We see the importance of building a low barrier shelter and we see the importance of building some sort of permanent tiny home village. With that said, that's just the start for us."
The group said they plan on having more sessions in the future.
