Discussion Post: Advocacy Efforts Are Making a Difference in Miami Homless
You comented: [In Miami, Florida, homelessness hit the lowest level ever, and there were only 919 unsheltered homeless in August 2021 (Teaford, 2021). While the population is low, it does not mean that homelessness is insignificant.
