When it comes to helping provide affordable housing for Monroe Countyâs most challenged populations â mentally, physically and financially tested residents â Jeanette McLernon has done it all.
Driven the homeless outreach van up and down the Florida Keys stopping to talk to people looking for help? Done that. Created a pilot program providing counseling and therapy for developmentally disabled adults with substance abuse problems? Check. Managed a 44-person apartment complex for mentally disabled adults? Done that, too.
