Mayor Johnson put together a task force to study the idea of a Safe Ground called Stepping Stones. The task force has finished the study and put together a series of recommendations that has been approved in concept by the policy board.
Here’s the vision:
- To create a safe and sustainable community that serves as a “Stepping Stone” to permanent housing
- Stepping Stone has four key components:
- Housing is transitional only
- Safe and secure
- Empowering environment
- Professional outreach and triage support
- Stepping Stone serves as one element of an integrated strategy to end homelessness
- In three years, we want Stepping Stone to be a best practice example and will be admired for a successful track record, innovative programming, and aesthetic appeal.=
