WILL YOU BE THERE?

Homeless Awareness Day at Florida's Capitol

YOUR voice is needed in Tallahassee on Homeless Awareness Day in Tallahassee on 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 Local Coalitions and State Homeless Programs
• Supporting the 2010 Homelessness Bill
• Removing the Cap on the Sadowski Housing Trust Fund
• Protecting Homeless People from Violence

The draft agenda for Homeless Awareness day has been posted, along with all the issue briefs, information and bill tracking, on the Florida Coalition for the Homeless Web site - www.fchonline.org - advocacy page.
