Issues

This committee is considering working as a community
outreach program for Pearl River County instead of a
traditional Long Term Recovery Committee. Due to the
pending decision, no by-laws have been adopted. The
committee has expressed an interest in beginning case
review, but is having a hard time identifying case
mangers who are working in the area. Poplarville and
Picayune have created the Hope Committee. Delegates
from each LTRC plan to work together to apply for the
Governor’s Fund.
