Tacoma Pierce County Coalition to End homelessness Meeting this Friday, July 19th, from 9:00am-11:00am.  We are at the Salvation Army Church (1110 S Puget Sound Ave, Tacoma, WA  98405).

 

The agenda is attached, and I’ll bring hard copies to the meeting.  The executive summary:

·         Homeless Prevention – get an update on LASA’s Homeless Prevention work – including what clients can expect and how to connect to services.

·         Washington Tenants’ Union and Tacoma Tenants Organizing Committee– update on their work to secure tenant rights, information on their tenant outreach and education project, and efforts around just cause eviction and rent control

·         National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty – a presentation by Tristia Bauman on why punitive approaches to homelessness are ineffective, expensive, and often unconstitutional, and about constructive alternative policies that can help communities prevent and end homelessness.

 

See you soon.
