Fisher said the city is trying to put together a low-barrier entry shelter with a day center with wrap-around services.
St. Augustine will turn on 3 million lights for the annual Nights of Lights illumination on Saturday, Nov. 19. Thousands of people are expected to attend theevent. At the same time, city leaders are trying to find a way to address the rising homeless population downtown. Commissioners had a meeting this week where they discussed possible solutions.
Steven Fischer, a Community Outreach Officer with the St Augustine Police Department said officials are trying to create a shelter with services for the homeless population. There is currently no shelter in St. Augustine or St. Johns County. “We’re not blind to it, that’s for sure,” Fischer said. “We see it and we’re working diligently trying to come up with something that will help this situation.”
