What: Have you ever walked in, in the middle of a conversation, and felt like everybody knew what was going on… except you? When it comes to ending homelessness, this happens to all of us, at one point or another. Once in a while, it’s good to step back and catch up! That’s what this installment of Hard Conversations is all about.
Specifically, we will cover why folks become homeless, the need for an effective homeless response system, the four components of an effective homeless response system, and four things you can do to help MDHA make the experience of homelessness in Dallas and Collin Counties, rare, brief and nonrecurring.
Who: David Gruber, Development and Communications Director, and members of the MDHA Team
When: Thursday, June 14, 2018, 12.00-1.15pm
Where: J. Erik Jonsson Central Library (O’Hara Hall – 7th Floor), 1515 Young St., Dallas, Texas 75201. Follow signs to underground parking on Wood St. Coffee and water provided. Attendees may bring a brown-bag lunch.
