AHA MEDIA attended the Neighbourhood-Based Solutions to Homelessness Forum at Plaza 500 in Vancouver

Neighbourhood-Based Solutions to Homelessness Forum. Please join us Wednesday July 8th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Plaza 500 (500 W. 12th Avenue) for a “how to” forum to discuss neighbourhood-based solutions to homelessness.

The goal of this “how to” forum is to provide a sample of the types of neighbourhood initiatives that are currently under way, in order to generate ideas and interest for other neighbourhoods to organize similar projects and events to raise awareness about and find ways to address homelessness during Homeless Action Week, October 11-17, 2009 (www.stophomelessness.ca).


Following presentations, participants will be asked to break out into smaller groups to network with others from their neighbourhood and discuss the kinds of action oriented projects and events they might want to organize for Homeless Action Week 2009 or more generally in their communities.
