Governor's Statewide Interagency Council on Homelessness

The following workgroup has come together to work towards solving the issue of homelessness in the State of Alabama. This group was first assembled to attend the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2005 Policy Academy focusing on families with children who are homeless. For more information on this event please visit the Homeless Policy Academies web site.

These individuals are committed to creating an Alabama where homelessness does not exist and have been instrumental in helping to
develop the Alabama Governor's Interagency Council on Homelessness.
