I'm so pleased to recognize the 20th anniversary of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition. For 20 years, Reverend Stephen Braddock and the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition have worked to empower individuals and families, assisting them in reaching their full potential by providing the resources and support they need to become self-sufficient. In its mission to, very simply, eliminate homelessness in the Keys, Monroe County, the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition has become a model human services organization in reaching this goal. Its goal has become a reality for many families who have transitioned from homelessness into permanent housing. I've had the great privilege of seeing their work firsthand, and it is nothing short of inspirational. I've witnessed the effectiveness of their outreach efforts, and I have seen the benefits of their emergency shelter and transitional housing programs. I applaud everyone at the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition for their selfless efforts as they strive to better the future for the homeless. Thank you for 20 years of service to our south Florida community. ____________________
