Columbia launches effort to strengthen housing, mental health services for people experiencing homelessness

Columbia officials begin a community-wide assessment to identify housing and mental health gaps and build a strategic plan to address homelessness. The consulting team will work alongside local service providers, community stakeholders and individuals with lived experience to better understand current needs and opportunities for improvement. Organizations involved in the effort include Transitions Homeless Center, Oliver Gospel Mission, Homeless No More and other grassroots agencies that serve the homeless population.
