Office of Homelessness Prevention

The Outreach and Referral Specialists evaluate the needs of each client through an assessment tool known as the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT). The VI-SPDAT is a survey triage tool, administered both to individuals and families to determine risk and prioritization when providing assistance to homeless and at-risk of homelessness persons. It gives the Outreach Specialists an overview of the needs of the client and allows them to make an assessment as to what resources are required to best meet their needs.

Office of Homelessness Prevention

The Joint Office of Homelessness Prevention is comprised of City of Ocala and Marion County employees, and serves as the lead agency for federal funding. The Marion County staff primarily oversees funding and applications, while the City of Ocala staff is the lead agency for handling outreach efforts, Coordinated Entry and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Fitness and Nutrition in Schools

The Fitness and Nutrition in Schools (FANS) program takes a fun, hands-on approach to prevent chronic diseases for the children in our school system. Through increased physical fitness opportunities, improved nutrition, and healthy lifestyle education, this program helps local children learn how to make healthy choices throughout their lives.
By increasing PE engagement, campaigning for healthier snacking, and even introducing school gardens, this program is helping kids learn the importance of taking care of their bodies and reducing county obesity rates.
