Pensacola Speaks: Waterfront Rescue Mission cuts and their impact on the homeless

   March 29, 2016

Last week, the Waterfront Rescue Mission Board of Directors announced the closure of its Women’s Center, end of its Career Development Program, and the restructuring of its Men’s Recovery Program. The reduction in revenues from its Recycle Center that funded these services at no charge to the public forced the decision.

Today on News Talk 1370 WCOA’s “Pensacola Speaks,” Devin Simmons, Waterfront Mission president, and John Johnson, Executive Director of EscaRosa Coalition on the Homeless, will discuss the changes and the impact on our community.
