On Monday, February 12th, HealthSpark Foundation invites you to join them along with Your Way Home for a fresh start to the conversation on how we as a community can meet the moment on the crisis of homelessness and affordable housing in Montgomery County.
Grounded in practicality, and bolstered by a shared desire for a Montgomery County where everyone can thrive, the hosts invite you to join this conversation with the goal of creating a space for candor, pragmatism, courage, and patience. We recognize that no conversation will solve the challenges overnight. Rather, we hope to lift up the good work being done across the county, sharing strategies that are working and celebrating successes where they’re happening. We hope to create space where leaders who have questions can find answers, where those who are doubtful can find reassurance, and where those who are out of hope can find inspiration.
The challenges we face are extensive, but we know that with committed leadership, aligned education and advocacy, and a willingness to follow words with action, we can make real progress in the work to end homelessness in Montgomery County in 2024.
This event is intended for:
- Health and human services providers interacting with homeless individuals
- Municipal/ borough leadership and township managers addressing issues related to homelessness and affordable housing in their own communities
- Elected officials and staff interested in learning more about local experiences and potential policy solutions
- Funders seeking to learn more about specific opportunities to support vulnerable populations in Greater Philadelphia
- Government officials and administrators seeking to connect community need to policy changes or opportunities
-
Faith leaders, residents, and community advocates interested in taking action on homelessness and housing instability in their neighborhood
