Since 2018, a group of government officials, advocates and nonprofits have met monthly to create a safety net for the homeless in Gila County.
The Gila County Homeless Task Force realizes that âall individuals and families have the right to safe, affordable housing in healthy communities,â because âhomelessness is unacceptable in Arizona.â
The group met on April 29 to discuss the projects and resources it has so far created. In order to negotiate the dizzying amount of support available for the homeless, however, the group has had to create a pathway to identify and screen Gila County homeless.
âThe Homeless Task Force has evolved over time with more people joining,â said Dorine Prine, coordinator for the Gila County Community Action Program. She organizes and chairs the meetings.
