Former Police Homeless Liaison Officer Discusses Florida’s Controversial Encampment Law 54:58

منذ 49 weeks54:58

54:58

Last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis put his signature on HB 1365, a controversial new law that prohibits municipalities from allowing homeless individuals to camp or sleep on public property. Enforcement of the law is unclear, and lawyer Aaron Swift argued that anyone who sues the municipality for not enforcing the bill and wins gets their attorney fees paid by the municipality. “Private attorneys now are going to basically be stepping in the shoes of the government and suing to enforce the government regulation,” Swift, Vice Chair of the Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay . Daniel McDonald, a former TPD officer who has worked on homeless issues for 23 years, joined “The Skinny” on WMNF to discuss his take on the legislation. Margi Dawson, Director of Development at the Turning Points nonprofit which provides services to individuals and families at-risk of homelessness also joined the program. https://www.wmnf.org/former-police-homeless-liaison-officer-discusses-floridas-controversial-encampment-law/ Source: WMNF-FM 88.5…

Impactful Outreach: Why I Spend Years Helping Those in Need 10:19

منذ 4 years10:19

10:19

There are different schools of thought about homeless outreach: You agency may do contact-driven outreach. You have a glancing impact upon lots of people. Activity is more important than performance or end-results. I prefer impactful outreach. I work with less clients, but spend more time, often years, to resolve their needs. Patience and persistence are my key tools. In this episode, I discuss some of my success stories and why you should choose impactful outreach. Links I mentioned: Impactful Outreach by Orgcode, Inc.

Why Police Must Continue Homeless Outreach During the COVID-19 Pandemic 22:40

منذ 5 years22:40

22:40

Homeless service providers are scaling back operations in many communities to prevent illness amongst their staff and volunteers. Social service agencies have closed their offices or transitioned to serving their clients via telephone or by appointment only. Drop-in centers have closed. Soup kitchens have stopped serving in dining rooms, often providing to-go meals. Libraries and other public facilities formerly available to the homeless have also closed. The lack of availability of these facilities and services often leave the police to be the de-facto response to homelessness.
