Compassion, Law & Order, Public Policy - on May 7th
Homelessness is always a hot topic in Tacoma. Recently, the MLK Housing Development Association indicated it may close the City’s largest emergency shelter. Tacoma’s chronically homeless make up just 10 percent of the homeless population, yet they use 50 percent of the resources for serving the homeless. What impacts would this closure have?
City Club’s May dinner is called “Compassion, Law & Order, Public Policy: Is There a Balance for Tacoma’s Homeless?” and will be held at Nativity House on Wednesday, May 7th.
The three dinner speakers represent a balance of perspectives—on public policy, law and order, and social justice—for addressing the rationing of limited resources for the homeless.
It should be an interesting evening.
