Geoff Davis lauded for legislation that will help homeless children

Bruce Lesley, President of First Focus, and Darla Griffin, Program Manager of Northern Kentucky Housing and Homeless Coalition, penned an editorial recently discussing the heart wrenching realities that face homeless children in Kentucky.  The editorial concludes by stating:

“Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., has been a champion for this underrepresented population. In Washington, he is doing everything possible to cut through the legalese in order to provide homeless children and families with the support they need to get back on their feet. In the House, Davis has introduced legislation to do just that. More than 40 organizations across the country, including First Focus, National PTA, YMCA of the USA, National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, and many others, support the approach Mr. Davis’s bill takes to strengthening the definition of homelessness.

We know we can rely on his continued leadership to ensure that federal policy meets the needs of homeless children and families, not bureaucrats in Washington. And he should be commended and praised for his efforts.”
