Unhoused News: From Rev David, "If you haven't met Street Dr Jill she is a fantastic resource for how to care for the unhoused. Here is a link to an interview by Jason D'Suza on All Points West. I've been following her on Instagram for weeks now and I'm so impressed. She's an advocate for good information, science, statistics, and best practices for effectively managing the intersection of crises we are navigating. She speaks with compassion, hope, and inspiration." CLICK HERE for video.
