About Us: The Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council is passionate about preventing and ending homelessness on Florida’s Treasure Coast, and to assure that if homelessness happens, it is brief and non-recurring. We partner with over 60 organizations across Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties to provide services to families who are at risk of or are currently experiencing homelessness.

Each year, the Annual Event allows the Council to share its Annual Impact Report and celebrate the good work accomplished by not only the Council, but by all of our collaborative partners across the CoC. We can't wait to see you there!

We are excited to announce our special guest and speaker, Senator Rosalind Osgood!

Senator osgood has a truly inspiring story of success. We are delighted to have her share her story and her wisdom with you all.

As many of you may already know, a wonderful member of our social services community passed recently. For nearly a decade, Walter Washington (far left) provided exceptional professional care to those experiencing homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse. His empathy and temperament allowed him to bring compassionate care and services to hundreds of men, women, and children across the Treasure Coast. The following CoC member agencies were honored to have Walter Washington on as staff and as a peer:

AARP Foundation
Love and Hope In Action (LAHIA)
RiteLife Services
Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council

Walter was a wonderful individual and an accomplished activist in our community. Known and loved by many, his efforts to help those in need have created a ripple affect across our community that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

When Walter passed, he left some incredibly large shoes to try and fill, but we will continue to do our best to honor his legacy. And, in honor and in memory of our beloved Walter Washington (and his impresive shoe collection!), we encourage everyone to wear their best and craziest pair of shoes to the annual event.

Those who wish to participate can enter to win the In His Shoes Award. There will be a vote for the best pair of shoes for a prize. There will additionally be an announcement of a very special award in honor of our beloved Walter Washington.

So, in honor of Walter Washington, we encourage everyone to wear their best and craziest pair of shoes to this event.
