Social Positions - Homelessness

 The LWV of Beloit recommends that Stateline area governmental units and community organizations:

    • seek and secure available funds to be directed to administering and funding housing for people experiencing homelessness including government and private funding.  
    • support programs which provide housing for people experiencing homelessness. Such programs would include: transitional housing focusing on those with special needs such as single women, teenagers, and families with children, transitional or group homes for mentally ill people, released prisoners, recovering addicts, or others who are unable to manage on their own, and emergency housing for newly homeless families and individuals.
    • actively participate in regional efforts to serve the needs of people experiencing homelessness through active and accessible case management, through direct financial assistance, transitional housing, employment/ career education, money management education, navigating social service systems, and advocacy for newly homeless residents. Governmental units, community organizations and interested individuals are encouraged to participate and coordinate with the Homeless Intervention Task Force of Rock and Walworth Counties.
