Homelessness in Ashland - Examining Bias, Equity, and Community Response

What contributes to homelessness? How do mental health and systemic barriers play a role? And how can we respond with compassion while keeping safety in mind?

A STUDENT-LED CONVERSATION
Avram Robbins is a student exploring this topic as part of his educational requirements. His goal is to bring greater awareness to homelessness and public space in Ashland while creating space for an honest and thoughtful community conversation. This is not an expert presentation, but an opportunity to learn, listen, ask questions, and consider different perspectives.

Join us Wednesday, Nov. 4 @ 12p at the Ashland Family YMCA.
