• Collaboration with Local Organizations: Partner with local non-profits, faith-based organizations, and healthcare providers to offer holistic support, including mental health services, job training, and addiction recovery programs.
• Community Integration: Foster initiatives that encourage the integration of the unhoused population into the community, reducing social stigmas and promoting inclusivity.
• Policy and Planning Integration: Ensure that the needs of the unhoused and unsheltered are considered in all urban planning and policy-making processes, in line with the Comprehensive Plan’s vision for a cohesive and inclusive community.

Addressing the needs of the unhoused and unsheltered is crucial for building a resilient, empathetic, and integrated community, reflecting the core values of Killeen's Comprehensive Plan.
