Creekside TONIGHT: Speaker on Homelessness in Rock County

Do you ever wonder how many people in Rock County are dealing with homelessness this winter? Erin Loveland, the Operations Coordinator at The House of Mercy, a 25-bed homeless center located in Janesville, WI will be at Creekside Place on January 17 at 7 pm to discuss the issue and how it affects us all. The House of Mercy accepts homeless single women and families for stays of up to 30 days with a goal for each household to achieve stable housing on their own. Erin has been employed there for almost 8 years and was a volunteer for 5 years before that. She is an experienced speaker and a member of Toastmasters International. She will discuss the House of Mercy program, admission criteria and the services they offer. She will also talk about the Rock County Homeless Intervention Task Force and the effort it makes to end homelessness. Please join us for this discussion. The Creekside Place Speakers Series is made possible in part by a grant from The Evansville Fund. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
