Homelessness results from the intersection of multiple economic and social risk factors, and nowhere are those risk factors more acute than in California. In a reprisal of their popular session at last month’s UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium, our guest presenters will share the conditions that put people at higher risk of homelessness, and that complicate the return to stable housing. Speakers will also discuss the policies that can prevent homelessness and the services and programs needed to humanely assist those experiencing homelessness, with a moderated conversation and audience Q&A to follow.
