Minnehaha County rallying groups around homeless plan
Service organizations, governments to inventory and map programs, services
Minnehaha County is embarking this summer on a mission to develop a strategic plan to address homelessness.
The goal, said Human Services Director Kari Benz, is to work with various agencies and the city of Sioux Falls to create a plan for services, and one that catches people before they end up in a perpetual state of homelessness. Benz said there is a strong desire among social services agencies to develop a plan that can be used for the next several years.
“I think it’s a hot topic because there are so many people who are passionate about this topic,” she told the County Commission Tuesday.
