The City of Melbourne, like so many other cities throughout the country, is experiencing an increase in homelessness and panhandling. Over the past several years, the City has collaborated with multiple nonprofit agencies to build capacity and make the best use of limited resources and funding to help those experiencing homelessness and those at risk of becoming homeless.
