 To help assist residents without shelter in the City of Treasure Island, city officials have created the Life Intervention Focus Team, INC (LIFT). The mission of the newly created, not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization is to aid and advance the availability of social services for city residents and homeless individuals.
The organization will be managed by a “Board of Directors” that will be composed of no less than five, but no more than nine directors. The board will be a fundraising body to fund the acquisition of a licensed social worker and potentially procure services to help achieve the mission of the LIFT organization. To qualify to serve on the board, directors will need to be at least 18 years of age and a city resident or business owner in the city.
