Freshman alderman Kacie Starr Triplett will tackle one of the city's most persistent issues Labels: Events, Homelessness, Kacie_Starr_Triplett
tonight as she hosts a forum on homelessness in the downtown portion of her ward.
Triplett has invited representatives from the Department of Health & Human Services; The Horizon Club, St. Louis' first 24-7 safe haven for the homeless; the St. Louis Downtown Partnership; and the mayor's office to discuss with residents of the 6th ward strategies for addressing downtown's large homeless population.
"There has been a lot of time, effort and energy in improving downtown," said Triplett. "However, problems with homelessness and crime still exist. This event will provide an opportunity for me to update the citizens of downtown on recent proactive developments as well as a forum for my constituents to share their concerns."
The event is at the St. Louis Public Library, 1301 Olive, from 7:00 to 8:30 tonight.
