Are We Doing Enough to End Homelessness? Part IV

Wednesday, May 16, 2018: 3:30 PM-4:30 PM
Greenway D-G (Hyatt Regency Minneapolis)
A number of mainstream media articles have hit the press proclaiming giant strides in ending homelessness. Yet - at the same time, Mayors in major cities have announced “states of emergency” over homelessness. Housing instability has hit an all-time high in some of the largest urban communities in the U.S. And, a casual walk through many cities reveals a staggering number of people experiencing homelessness. A great disconnect exists. This popular workshop will explore opportunities to align what we know with the evidence-supported practices designed to end homelessness.
