A recent meeting in Citrus County discussed potential solutions to the area’s homeless issue, but attendees failed to reach a consensus. The meeting, which took place on January 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the Citrus County Administration Building, located at 405 S. Main St, Inverness, Florida, drew community members, local officials, and homeless advocates.
The discussion centered around ideas such as increasing affordable housing, providing mental health services, and establishing a homeless shelter. However, no concrete plans were agreed upon. “We need to work together to find a solution,” said Citrus County Commissioner, Kevin McQueen. In a separate incident, distillery owner Dave Mohr died following a downtown explosion on Monday night, January 15, 2026, around 10:30 p.m., at 326 E. Main St, Inverness, Florida.
Some potential solutions to the homeless issue include:
- Establishing a homeless shelter
- Increasing affordable housing options
- Providing mental health and addiction services
