Heading H o <br />Be Part of Something BIG <br />The Anoka County Community Continuum of Care <br />Over the years, our Anoka County community has responded to <br />the issues of homelessness in a variety of ways: by encouraging <br />community support of the Stepping Stone Emergency Shelter, <br />investment in affordable community housing, and encouraging <br />partnership with local agencies through Family Homeless <br />Preventions and partnerships with Metro Counties through the <br />Supportive Service grant. Even with strong partnerships and a <br />variety of community efforts, we still struggle with the issues of <br />homelessness in Anoka County. <br />The Anoka County Community Continuum of Care is partnering <br />with the state business plan, Heading Home Minnesota, by <br />developing it's own Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness in Anoka <br />County. With a vision for a better future and ending homelessness <br />for all, the Continuum of Care brings together a variety of state, <br />community agencies, and community volunteers. Working together <br />to develop a plan to end homelessness in Anoka County by the <br />year 2019 the Continuum 's Education Committee seeks to raise <br />awareness of the issues surrounding homelessness and encourage <br />community participation by sponsoring a variety of events, <br />including a countywide sleep -out in November. In the spirit of <br />supporting the Heading Home Anoka vision, the committee <br />supports educating the community regarding homelessness issues <br />throughout the coming year. <br />
