Homelessness is on the rise across the U.S. and here in Central New York, increasing locally more than 60 percent since 2019. Nearly 1,200 people in our community find themselves unsheltered or in temporary settings on any given night. This forum will discuss how the community can rise to the growing challenges of homelessness and housing insecurity. Specifically, the forum will discuss the role that the Housing & Homeless Coalition of Central New York plays in responding to the problem. The event is free but registration is required.
