Homelessness: Real Solutions Revealed | Virtual Event on Sept 24th

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Only a week left for the event!
Neighborhoods across the U.S. have become open-air asylums, drug markets, and impoverished wastelands—despite billions spent on homelessness programs.

Why?

Because common approaches like Housing First have failed both those experiencing homelessness and their communities.

Join us for a virtual discussion with experts to explore:

  • Why Housing First policies consistently fail
  • The difference between responsible versus irresponsible harm reduction
  • Why skyrocketing spending has made homelessness worse, not better
  • Real-world success stories from Haven for Hope (San Antonio, TX) and Union Rescue Mission (Los Angeles, CA)
  • Concrete policy reforms that can truly make a difference
  • How YOU can get involved
A live Q&A will follow the discussion, and if you can’t attend, register anyway, and we’ll send the recording straight to your inbox.
Wednesday, September 24, 2025 | 1:00 – 2:00 PM PT / 4:00 – 5:00 PM ET

Beyond Homeless

Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions

Edited by Mary L.G. Theroux
“The book should be required reading for anyone wanting a comprehensive understanding of the homelessness crisis. It offers solutions that could actually lift people to a place beyond homelessness.”
