Anaheim residents start a grassroots effort to help the city, county with homeless issues (ocregister.com)

 

There’s hope in Linda Lehnkering’s voice.

In 10 years fighting for social justice as chair of the economic justice ministry at the Unitarian Universalist Church and to end homelessness as a member of the Anaheim Poverty Task Force, she’s usually in a room with leaders and volunteers from faith and service groups.

But for the first time, at a meeting earlier this week at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim, she joined a group of about 25 residents to discuss ways to solve the city’s homeless issue.

“It’s the moral and humane thing to do,“ she said. “I think the whole idea of this group is to keep meeting and pressuring this City Council and then go to other cities and the county. We can end homelessness in Orange County. We can do this. We could end this problem.”
