THE SYNERGISTIC TEAM
Businesses, service providers, government, educational institutions and faith based organizations came together to form a Synergistic Team, whose goal was to provide a shared vision for the next steps in the City of Fort Lauderdale’s journey to provide services and a better quality of life for the homeless, with a focus on veterans and families.
The Synergistic Team worked for over 6 months at Broward College in their Dream Lab to define the critical steps needed to strengthen the current Continuum of Care.
