“In a coordinated effort with Florida Housing Coalition and St. Johns County Continuum of Care, the results of the community meetings and the survey will be compiled and used to write a comprehensive strategic plan,” the City of St. Augustine said in a written statement. “With a formalized strategic plan in place, opportunities for federal funding and other funding sources will be more readily available.”
