On June 14, 2018, David Gruber, MDHA’s Development and Communications Director, led this latest installment of our Hard Conversations series, sponsored by MDHA and the Dallas Public Library.
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 was all about.
Specifically, we covered 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. (And, yes, we even included some Winnie, the Pooh!)
Couldn’t make it? Fret not! Our good friends at Two Hats Publishing will hook you up, by posting the entire session to YouTube. Once they do, we will link to it here.
In the meantime, you can download the PowerPoint presentation, as well as the large infographic we shared. There are a bunch of links embedded in the PowerPoint, which you to click on to go further in depth, so make sure you check those out too.
