Description
Philanthropy across the state has been working collaboratively to address the pressing problem of homelessness in our state. A recent Public Policy Institute of California survey found that “homelessness” is the state’s number one problem in the eyes of voters—the first time the issue has been at the top of the list. Central to the homelessness crisis is the pressing need for affordable housing. Too many families experience homelessness due to rising rents. Consequently, funders concerned with this issue may have heard about the discussions on how to address both of these challenges and the debate around whether there should be a “right” to either shelter or permanent housing, in the state of California. This webinar will explore what both of these terms, “right to shelter” and “right to housing” mean, and what the consequences of such a right could lead to for philanthropy. Presenters will include housing and homelessness experts from across the state. Join us and funders from across the state on this important conversation that may influence your grantmaking approach to housing and homelessness.
