The Housing Summit is a two-part series to learn about and share agency information on homelessness and affordable housing (part one) and then develop solutions (part two). Part 1 was held in July. Information was shared to provide an understanding of homelessness and homeless services in the region, the lack of a regional emergency shelter, the availability of affordable housing, and the impact of evictions.
Part Two (August 10): The second session will be solution-focused and the agencies, non-profits, government entities, and advocates will present plans to address needs discussed in Part One.
Questions/Comments from the public can be sent to Genevieve Lohr at glohr@petersburg-va.org.
