Registry Week Coordinator Needed:
The Mayor has committed the City to join with the Zero: 2016 Campaign to End Veteran Homelessness by the end of 2015 and End Chronic Homelessness by the end of 2016.

This information is used to created a prioritized list of homeless persons in need who are then connected to housing and services.
