I'm Angie Walker, and that's my perspective. Let's continue working together and one day we'll make homelessness a thing of the past in our beloved city. Thank you for being part of this journey. But let's also remember that the path to ending homelessness for everyone will take our entire community’s support. So as we mark World Homelessness Day, let's celebrate the progress we've made together. Because of this data, we've secured additional funding to help those who are seriously mentally ill and unsheltered, so they too can find a place to call home. This helps us understand if we're making progress towards solving homelessness for everyone, knowing exactly what resources are needed to achieve this goal, and it keeps us accountable. We have real time, by name data on everyone in our community experiencing homelessness. We're committed to solving homelessness for everyone in our community, and we're making it happen. We're not stopping until we reach functional zero for all populations. ![]() Just last year, we provided homes to 381 households: That's 381 lives changed, 381 stories rewritten. It's an incredible milestone and we didn't stop there. In 2017, we became the first community in Built for Zero to reach and sustain functional zero for both veteran and chronic homelessness. And we're not just talking about it, we're taking action. With a data driven human-centered approach, we are turning our vision of ending homelessness into a reality. Since 2015, we've been part of Built for Zero, a national movement of more than 100 communities working together to solve homelessness. The city of Rockford Health and Human Services Department has been hard at work - and we're making significant progress in the fight against homelessness right here in Rockford. That's FOX Sports announcer, Joe Buck, with the call of last night's dramatic home run by David Freese of the St.Today, on World Homelessness Day, we have some great news to share. Louis to a seventh and deciding game in the World Series tonight against the Texas Rangers. Stefan Fatsis joins us now, as he does most Fridays, to talk about this incredible series. Stefan, there were echoes of the past in that call by Joe Buck. It was an homage to his father, Jack Buck, who made a very similar call in a similar situation in 1991 when Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins ended another classic World Series game six with a home run. Let's put this series and this game into context. ![]() Where does last night's game stand?įATSIS: Well, it absolutely ranks with other World Series classics, especially sixth games. You have that aforementioned 1991 game between Minnesota and Atlanta 1975, Boston-Cincinnati. That was the one where Carlton Fisk waved that home run fair in the 12th inning. 1977, the Yankees and the Dodgers, Reggie Jackson hits three home runs. Boston-New York Mets in '86, Bill Buckner's error gives the Mets life, extends the Red Sox woes. And then 1993, Joe Carter ends the World Series with a walk off home run for Toronto over Philadelphia. NORRIS: Now, the final score last night, which by the way, we have not mentioned yet, was 10 to 9 in 11 innings. That gives you a clue that this was a very special game. But it really doesn't tell the whole story.įATSIS: No. And, you know, it's the details that move this into the pantheon of those other six games. Texas was one out, one pitch away from winning its first World Series, not once, but twice. It was the first time that's ever happened. The Cardinals trailed five times in this game and came back to win. Louis was the first team to come back from two runs down in the ninth inning or later twice. And also, they were the first team in the history of post-season baseball, 1,330 games, to score in the eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th innings. 2022 Echoes Program 2252A As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
