A virtual event featuring Matt Mollica, Executive Director, Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO)

Why do people experience homelessness? It comes down to choices – not an individual’s, but policy choices. The poverty we see on Austin’s streets and across the country today is tied directly to the erosion of affordable housing infrastructure and the broader social safety net over the last several decades.

Join us as we trace the history of these choices, explore the role systemic racism continues to play in making them, and discuss where we go from here.
