"I’ve worked with a lot of communities across the United states. We are lucky to have a mayor who supports the work we do and is a part of it." - Katherine Bisson of @HopeAbilene and #BuiltforZero Abilene, TX on reaching #FunctionalZero for chronic homelessness.
"The next thing we had to do was to create a real time last of people experiencing chronic homelessness, so we know them by name. It’s very important to dignify those people and know who they are." - Katherine Bisson of @HopeAbilene
"Abilene is a shining example of rolling up your sleeves and working alongside your brother, regardless of your affiliation, to help those who are in need." - @JodeyArrington #FunctionalZero
"Congratulations Abilene for being the first #TX city to reach #FunctionalZero for both chronic and veteran homelessness. We know ending homelessness take everyone, and in Abilene it took everyone." - @EricSamuels of @TXHomeNet
"To choose to work toward ending veteran homelessness was not an easy thing to do. Two years ago, Team Abilene decided to the right thing. Not just for the sake of greatness. But for the sake of our most vulnerable in a community." - @CityofAbilene Mayor Anthony Williams
"This accomplishment belongs to no individual, to no organization, but rather to the people and community of Abilene, to the hope that our small town has fostered, and to the everyday heroes that our community has raised up." - @CityofAbilene Mayor Anthony Williams
"We’ve seen the impossible become possible. As a community, let’s show the world that we have more impossible things to achieve. Let’s give this community a round of applause." 👏 - @CityofAbilene Mayor Anthony Williams #functionalzero
