Kansas City Metropolitan Regional Taskforce on Homelessness
A recently formed Task Force, has accepted the challenge of pulling together a briefing packet of regional statistics, best practices and national solutions to be presented to a Blue Ribbon Commission. The Commission will then be charged with the development of an Action Plan to impact, if not eliminate, homelessness in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area.
Addressing homelessness continues to be a vital community need. The Task Force consists of representatives from across the metropolitan area and continues to grow. Members include: the faith and business communities, the Homeless Services Coalition, neighborhood associations, city advocates, the United Way and other agencies, the City and County Managers' offices, citizens at large, and will include formerly homeless individuals.
This broad-based community effort is the result of numerous people coming together in order to discuss homelessness and ways to develop a compassionate community response that will solve underlying problems rather than shuffle populations.
For more information on this ever evolving group, please refer to this draft concept paper for how this loose “Coalition” of coalitions, agencies, providers, etc is moving forward to develop a plan to impact homelessness.
