🌟 Fort Lauderdale's State of the City Address 🌟

This week, members of our Recovery Community Organization were honored by Mayor Dean Trantalis of Fort Lauderdale during his State of the City Address. They were recognized for their remarkable transformation—moving from experiences of being unhoused to living productive, meaningful lives as people in recovery.

This acknowledgement shines a light on the power of recovery, the importance of community support, and the resilience of those who commit to rebuilding their lives. We are grateful to Mayor Trantalis and the City of Fort Lauderdale for celebrating the courage and achievements of people in recovery!

Several topics were covered during the speech, including new ways to tackle homelessness.

The Rotary Connection is a free bus transportation service dedicated to connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with needed services across Broward County. Operations have begun!

Most people take transportation for granted. It’s pretty simple to hop in a car, Uber, train or bus to get from point A to point B. But for homeless people in South Florida, the task is daunting.
