Understanding Homelessness in Our Community - January 24, 2011
Many thanks to Julia Burkhead of InnVision as well as the members of FROST and everyone who attended the event, Helping the Homeless in Our Community, last evening at the Santa Teresa Library.
Julia presented a clear and detailed overview of homelessness in general and in Santa Clara County in particular; covering not only the common causes of homelessness, but the many and varied resources available to those facing homelessness in our community.
Following her presentation, Julia answered numerous questions from the audience, explaining the many ways individuals and groups can get involved and help through organizations like Inn Vision (http://www.innvision.org/). Several people asked Julia for access to her presentation so they could share it with friends and colleagues. New Life will work with Julia to make this available as soon as she is able to do so.
Those who were interested were also invited to provide an email address for New Life's Social Justice mailing list. This list is used to invite individuals and groups to events like this where issues of social justice are explained by experts in the field. This list is always available to join, just email office@newlifesanjose.org and ask to be added. No emails beyond those for social justice events will be sent to that list.
Again, many thanks for making this event happen!
