The Jacksonville TEOSA program has expanded it’s services, and as of late has aided in helping multiple homeless individuals stay off the streets, permanently.
The Jacksonville Temporary Emergency Overnight Shelter Accommodations, or TEOSA for short is making strides to assist Jacksonville’s homeless population. Jacksonville Police Department Chaplain, Allen Braddish says thanks to the assistance of outside organizations, things are progressing well at the center.
The Salvation Army has agreed to serve as a daytime warming center from 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday on days the temperature stays below freezing. Braddish says having a place to go during the daytime hours was a big piece of the puzzle they were needing to fill.
