Our speaker for the meeting this week is Stephanie Kaple who is the Executive Director for the Savannah-Chatham County Interagency Council on Homelessness(ICH). ICH was formed in 2022 to support and expand upon the great work being done by homelessness service providers in our community. The ICH just completed the first Chatham County-wide Five-Year Strategic Plan to End Homelessness which looks at how we can improve our system of care to address and prevent homelessness more effectively. These goals will now guide the ICH’s work and provide the community a clear path to tackle the complicated challenge of ending homelessness.
