In response, the commissioner emphasized the importance of providing support to all members of the community regardless of race.
The commissioner also highlighted the need for increased collaboration between local organizations and government agencies to address homelessness effectively. He acknowledged that there is still work to be done to ensure that all individuals experiencing homelessness receive the necessary support and assistance.
