Join other service providers, advocates and concerned citizens from around the state on Homeless Awareness Day in Tallahassee on Wednesday, April 7. This is an opportunity to educate Senators and Representatives about the needs of our homeless neighbors and how they can help by:
• Funding Homeless Coalitions and State Homeless Programs
• Supporting the 2010 Homelessness Bill
• Removing the Cap on the Sadowski Housing Trust Fund
