This afternoon, we are hosting a training and education opportunity with our department directors and senior staff related to how best to serve our homeless residents in Provo. We will have representatives from the Housing Authority, Wasatch Behavioral Health, the Food and Care Coalition, and the United Way Continuum of Care to discuss the services and programs they offer, along with Police and Fire leadership to talk about their approach to some of the challenges that occasionally occur with our homeless residents. I'm excited for the opportunity to learn more and build some better relationships with our non-profit sector partners in the community.

FUN STUFF
I thought you might like this little video. Several years ago, lots of public employee groups got involved in some lip sync challenges, with Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk as the music of choice. This newer one from Instagram sets a whole new standard!
I hope you have a great day. We appreciate all you do to make Provo such a great place!
