News Notes

Homelessness

Roanoke's homelessness task force presented its recommendations to city council Monday after more than a year of work. The 21-member group, started by Mayor Joe Cobb, recommends a “small-house village” for transitional housing, a regional “access hub” and an expanded homeless assistance team. “The goal is not simply to manage homelessness,” Cobb said. “The goal is to reduce it.” Cardinal NewsRoanoke Times
