Organizations in Roanoke anticipate higher need for homelessness assistance
“‘The goal of everything we do, all the interactions, is to move folks on a path into permanent housing. So that’s really the focus of our work is solving homelessness,’ said HAT Human Services Administrator, Matt Crookshank.
In the coming months, HAT members may face additional challenges because of the proposed ordinance.
‘So we plan to be proactive with folks if the ordinance passes to really try and be urgent to get folks connected with shelter options or permanent housing,’ said Crookshank.”
