SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga County Citizens Committee for Mental Health (SCCCMH) and the Saratoga County Alliance to End Homelessness (SCAEH) have partnered to host “Changing the Lens on Homelessness: A public discussion on homelessness in Saratoga County.” 

The event will be held 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1, at the Saratoga Springs City Center in Meeting Room 1. This program is free and open to the public.
