Opposing the Criminalization of Homelessness

Thursday, May 28th, 2026

This webinar is for anyone interested in serving people in poverty and ending homelessness.  There is a current push to criminalize poverty and homelessness rather than to provide support to our neighbors.  This webinar will explore the following objectives: 

  •  Ensure participants understand the current federal and local push to end homelessness- who is backing these efforts and what forms they take.
  •  Participants will leave with strategies to oppose or respond to these efforts in their community. 

 Participants will be given specific messaging options to assist with countering the narratives underlying this push
