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.
