HOME: A Community Conversation on Homelessness

This project has concluded, thank you to everyone who participated.

Richmond residents are invited to come together for a two part community conversation about the circumstance of homelessness in Richmond.

We will explore the meaning of home and the meaning of homelessness. Together we will talk about what contributes to homelessness, share our hopes for the future, and generate ideas for how we can create a more connected, inclusive community.

These are challenging and complex topics and we need a broad range of perspectives to explore solutions. The purpose is not to debate but rather to be open and curious about all perspectives and see what we learn from one another.

We hope the conversation will build relationships so that we can get to know one another, share ideas, and constructively collaborate.
