Answers for what the homeless and unsheltered in Cumberland County need might be on the horizon.
County commissioners recently hired Canada-based group, OrgCode Consulting Inc., to conduct a study on the community so the commissioners can work to implement resources.
At a meeting earlier this month, Dee Taylor, Cumberland County s director of Community Development, explained OrgCode Consulting has more than 100 years combined experience in homelessness and housing.
According to agenda documents, in January, commissioners made a request for a group to come in and help create a three-year plan to address homelessness in the community. As a part of the request, the commissioners said they wanted to look into the current resources offered to the homeless community, figure out where the gaps are and implement a plan to fill those gaps.
