"There’s been a lot to be proud of this year, but one of the most powerful accomplishments is the progress we've made through the Homelessness Task Force."

"More than 20 individuals who were once living on the streets are now in real homes, and that shift has improved life for the entire community."

"The numbers are encouraging. We’ve gone from 30 motor vehicle thefts in 2023 to six so far this year."

"We’ve submitted our Housing Element and Fair Share Plan as required by state law. It’s posted on the city’s website so that residents can review and understand what’s being proposed."

"Right now, we’re waiting for an appraisal of the property."

"Once that’s complete, the city can move forward with plans for a sale."

"What made this possible was a state grant program that only opens up about once every 15 years."

"I have personally worked with this group to help educate the public on the benefits of waiting and I believe they will be able to collaborate with our schools to spread the message."

"It will take a partnership between parents and schools to help mitigate the effects of cell phone use among teens."

"Now that we’ve had real success in helping individuals move into stable housing, we’re turning our focus to prevention."

"I was homeless and penniless when I first started at King’s."

"I found my feet and wings, and King’s supported my accommodation for three years. ‎*Starting as a student to becoming a part of staff faculty."

"I rode the cusp of socio-economic changes as more women entered medicine."

"I also witnessed great advances in liver diseases, my chosen speciality."
