Leaders who Inspire
In June, Cindy Funkhouser was named a
2018 Eve award winner
and we understand why. She wears her determination on her sleeve.
Then there's Cindy Watson, another community super hero, who recently received recognition as the Florida Diversity Council's 2018 LGBT Leader of the Year.

For Veterans who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, we've come a long way. In 2016, the number of Veterans who were homeless was over 300 people. Today, our community report identifies just over 60 Veterans experiencing homelessness.
We're encouraged by our community's determination, collaboration, and results.
