Kristy Jocelyn has been a resident of Citrus County since approx. 2004. She had been coming to visit Citrus County as a teenager and decided that it was a community she wanted to raise her children in. She has always been driven to be a “helper” and began working in the area of “homelessness” in 2007, having experienced homelessness herself. She began working in the office and then transitioned into Direct Case Management, even working in the juvenile penitentiary system, and eventually in the realm of grants and service navigation. Her true passion is to work directly and advocate for those experiencing homelessness and connecting those in need with the services in the community to assist. She advises several local organizations and currently spearheads the Citrus County Cold Weather Shelter.
