Waterloo is assembling a task force to create sustainable solutions for the Cedar Valley’s homeless population. The first step for the group is to identify and catalog Waterloo’s available homeless resources, which range from transportation to shelter and rehab services. Mayor Quentin Hart says the task force will look at solutions both inside and outside the city. The task force is made up of philanthropists, city officials and other community leaders, while Hart says voices from the homeless population itself will be key to the group’s success. The task force expects to start its work in May.
