After laying out a framework for thinking about issues surrounding housing and homelessness, the workshop facilitators will invite questions and discussion, and will share opportunities for you to become more aware, more active on these issues, and more involved. All are welcome to share in this moving experience learning from two leaders in the field who have much to share and stories to tell. Your hearts will be touched and changed. Join us.
