Mississippi Campaign Meets with House Select Committee on Poverty
 This month, Tuwanna Williams, State Coordinator for the Mississippi Campaign to End Child Homelessness, met with the Select Committee on Poverty of the Mississippi House of Representatives at the invitation of Chair Reecy L. Dickson. Tuwanna presented the recently released MS Plan to End Child Homelessness to the Committee. She also discussed legislation that has been introduced during the current legislative session in the Mississippi House and Senate to authorize a state Interagency Council on Homelessness. A MS Interagency Council would ensure a sustained, coordinated, statewide response to prevent and end homelessness in the state. This legislation is the first step the Mississippi Campaign is taking with partners to implement recommendations from the MS Plan. Learn more about the Mississippi Plan and Campaign. |
