First Coast Forum: Homelessness

November 15, 2007

Homelessness touches as many as 17,000 people in Jacksonville every year, and thousands more in surrounding counties. Statistics show that as many as 30 percent are families with children. On the next installment in WJCT’s interactive FIRST COAST FORUM series, we’ll explore the issue of homelessness and talk with many of the agencies dedicated to helping people get back on their feet.

FIRST COAST FORUM: HOMELESSNESS will air live on WJCT-TV and 89.9FM WJCT Public Radio and will be hosted by 89.9 WJCT’s Tom Patton. Viewers and listeners can participate in the program by emailing questions to or by calling (904) 358-6347 during the program.

Confirmed panelists include:
• Terry Lorince, Downtown Vision Executive Director
• Audrey Moran, Sulzbacher Center President
• JuCoby Pittman, Clara White Mission President
• Diane Gilbert, Jacksonville Homeless Coalition
• Janice Ancrum, Community Connections Associate Director
• Doug Orange, formerly homeless and now with the Sulzbacher Center
