Channels open to help the homeless

I am encouraged to see more communication between all who have a concern and a common interest in our finding a workable solution: both downtown Kent business communities, the City Council, staff and officials, our church community and other citizens regarding the issue of homelessness.

It will take the dedicated effort of all four groups and the whole community. We have spoken at each other from our silos. Now it is time to speak to one another from our hearts and join our hands and work together from the same page.

Thanks, Eric Greiling (“Looking to connect, help the homeless”, guest opinion, March 8, Kent Reporter), for your good nudge in this direction.
