On Oct. 10, World Homeless Day served as a vital reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by individuals and families without stable housing. This day prompts us to acknowledge the difficulties and uncertainties experienced by those living without a roof over their heads, something that is often all too easy to ignore. As the chief development officer of Gulfstream Goodwill Industries (GGI), I know that this issue extends far beyond the numbers of homeless in each city, or the percentage of homeless people among the state population.
