Members of the National Policy and Advocacy Council on
Homelessness held a public informational meeting this week to
discuss ways to help Dalton’s homeless.
"The reason they were here is one of their employees is
from Dalton, and he’s very familiar with our
issues," said Kimberly Johnson, spokesperson for the
city.
Dalton will receive $487,000 from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development on July 1, and the advocacy
group has agreed to help the city find ways to make the best
use of the funds, Ms. Johnson said. The advocacy group is
dedicated to ending homelessness through partnerships with
anti-poverty organizations.
