[QUOTE="NationalMatch, post: 3876697, member: 48586"] Nearly 16,000 Tulsans experienced homelessness for the first time over the past five years, [URL='https://www.housingsolutionstulsa.org/reports-data/']according to data from Housing Solutions.[/URL] It's an epidemic city leaders want to help fix and one [URL='https://tulsadaycenter.org/']Tulsa Day Center[/URL] Executive Director Mack Halton believes he has a solution. "Homelessness is a condition, okay?" explained Halton. "It's not, it's not a symptom of somebody that's who they are. It can be overcome." Councilor Jayme Fowler is [URL='https://ktul.com/news/local/tulsa-leaders-to-visit-denver-as-part-of-annual-intercity-visit']one of several who traveled to Denver earlier this month [/URL]to learn about solutions. Fowler said other councilors went to visit homeless shelters and tent cities. "I think that's very important people that just have a different perspective," he said. For him, homelessness is a two-fold issue. "When you look at the dynamic of homelessness -- many, many folks that are homeless, have mental health issues," he said. Fowler explained one of the ideas Denver had to help those experiencing homelessness, which includes partnering with police.
