Livestream, Town Hall Seattle
Homelessness is perhaps the No. 1 issue facing our city. “Compassion Seattle,” a proposal that offered a different approach to homelessness, did not make the November ballot. Many people are asking, “What now? Is there a better idea? How can we make progress on this complicated problem? What are our best chances for a solution—or solutions?”
Please join Seattle University’s Institute of Public Service for a vigorous and thoughtful discussion on “Homelessness: After All the Time and Effort, Why Is It Getting Worse?”
Panelists include:
- Marc Dones (they/them), CEO of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority
- Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (she/her)
- Tiffani McCoy (she/her), advocacy director for Real Change news
