World Cafe: Solutions for Homelessness

207CD, Charlotte Convention Center
2017 Workshops, Topic: Public Health & Safety, Healthcare
Homelessness is a growing challenge facing city leaders, communities, businesses, veterans, families, youth and other vulnerable residents. While some cities have attempted short-term solutions targeting “quality of life” or nuisances from homeless individuals, others have instituted policies, laws, data practices, and programs that make progress toward housing and supporting the homeless and those at risk. Innovative cities and the national organizations supporting them will share what works to reduce the number of people who are homeless in the near and long-term. This interactive world café session will allow city leaders to have in-depth conversations with presenters on a variety of topics related to homelessness. Come ready to discuss your questions and challenges from home.
