Homelessness
Regarding the homeless issue, we need to build on Mayor Meehan's efforts. I would seek to establish an Assessment Center not just to support Melbourne, but also all of South Brevard. A Center to which anyone in our area could go for help... and a place where law enforcement could bring troubled individuals with more than just housing or job loss troubles such as those with alcohol, drug use, mental or physical problems. I would also seek help from our State and National Representatives to have the Veterans' Administration re-institute "Soldiers' and Sailors' Home" program.
