Description

Across Central Oregon a robust system of services are in place to meet the needs of those experiencing houselessness. Yet there are gaps in this system, and many fall through these cracks. Join us for presentations and extended Q & A with Tammy Baney Executive Director of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and Eliza Wilson Director of Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs at J Bar J and Chair of the Homeless Leadership Coalition. We’ll discuss how an optimized integrated system of care, funding from the governor's executive orders and community support will make a difference into our future. Moderated by Aaron Switzer, publisher of The Source Weekly.
