Homelessness forum to be held at UVI
Downtown Revitalization, Inc. will host a Forum on Homelessness from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 27 and is inviting service providers to showcase their programs.
The public also is invited to attend the forum and express ideas, join resources, share recognition and otherwise redouble their commitment to St. Thomas' homeless population. Addressing homelessness is a critical element of revitalizing downtown, and DRI's goal is to assist homeless service providers as they assist the most vulnerable, long-term homeless individuals and families to attain permanent, supportive housing.
