With the help of an expert on the subject, the city of Pensacola and Escambia County are resurrecting their focus on tackling homelessness three years after a summit produced virtually nothing.
“I’ve been working on homeless for about 35 years, working for three different presidential administrations, said Robert Marbut, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. I’ve been to about 1,200 locations in all 50 states, parts of Mexico, and a little bit of work in Canada.
He told the joint city council-county commission meeting that while there’s a tendency to talk about what’s going bad, he would share what’s going good in dealing with the homeless including a newly-formed local work group.
