“Building a New Way” | Presentation Recording
with Rev. Ruth Vann Lillian
2021 will be our year of HOPE! We are traveling toward better days, toward healing and wholeness! Such hope frees us from the pain of hearts already broken, and from the fear of what we might encounter down the road. Let’s travel hopefully into this new year and build a new way together! Rev. Ruth currently serves the UU Congregation of Tuscaloosa in Alabama.
January 10
with Lisa Portelli, MPA, Senior Advisor for Homelessness and Social Services to Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer
Lisa brings more than thirty (30) years of experience in addressing social issues in Central Florida to her role as Senior Advisor for Homelessness to Mayer Dyer. For our service, she will provide an overview of the coordinated approach to homelessness in our region. Lisa will discuss the leading organizations addressing homelessness and the "Housing First" strategy that Central Florida has embraced for the last several years.
The focus for the "Housing First" initiative is to respect the worth and dignity of each person, our first principle, and to address issues of equity and justice, our second principle. Lisa will conclude by identifying ways that our fellowship can help address this issue and its many facets.
