Man threatens to ‘blow up’ Pensacola hospital, gets arrested: ECSO report
In a news release, Escambia County introduced its Real Change Project Reconnect. According to the release, the program offers “free transportation to individuals experiencing homelessness.”
The Real Change Project Reconnect works by offering eligible individuals a bus or plane ticket to their chosen destination. County officials say this helps the homeless population by allowing them to travel to locations where they have a better support system to get back on their feet.
Eligibility guidelines for the project
- Individuals and families looking for reunification and housing with their support system (family or otherwise)
- Individuals and families who have found employment and are seeking short-term support in their transition
- Individuals and families who have affordable permanent housing options available to them in a community where they have a support system.
