7:15 (Fireside Room) Exploring the Root Causes of Houselessness
Test your assumptions about Portland’s housing crisis during this interactive presentation and community conversation with Welcome Home Coalition. Together we will build a shared understanding of the root causes of houselessness and housing instability, and solutions that we can all get behind.
We will gather neighbors from across our southeast coalition district to meet and mingle with the organizations and projects leading the way in addressing houselessness in our city.
This family-friendly event offers neighbors a meaningful opportunity to connect with grassroots organizations and to get involved in compassionate solutions. Come learn about effective and practical efforts to support our houseless neighbors. We would love to have you join us!
