    This month’s presentation brings together trusted community partners who work alongside our unhoused neighbors every day, each addressing a different piece of a complex challenge. Together, they will share insights, resources, and perspectives to help us better understand the landscape and the collaborative efforts shaping a stronger, more compassionate downtown.
