“…I was very proud of the continued commitment to those that are close to or are experiencing homelessness in our county,” shares Jackson County Commissioner Chair Bob Strosser.

In the 2019-20 Budget Jackson County has allocated over $3,000,000.00 including over $1,500,000.00 out of the General Fund (discretionary) for homeless related services. This provides many support services including more than 75,000 bed-nights for people that otherwise are most likely living on the streets. Here are some of the budget items that effect homelessness.
