Homelessness in Our Community

At our next virtual LWVGB meeting on Thursday, March 18 at 6:00 PM, we will discuss homelessness in the Greater Birmingham area. We will examine the factors impacting homelessness, ways in which agencies are addressing the issue, and ways in which you can personally help. Guest panelists will be: Valencia “Val” Green, Assistant Director for Firehouse Ministries, a men’s homeless shelter that also provides services and counseling aimed at ending homelessness; Carrie Leland, Executive Director of Pathways, a provider of day services, counseling, and emergency shelter to homeless women and children; and Gordon Sullivan, Operations Director for One Roof, the coordinating agency for the homeless Continuum of Care of Central Alabama serving Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair counties.

Panelists will answer questions following the presentations. Zoom registration is required to attend this meeting. https://www.facebook.com/events/1778429632335998  It is free and open to the public.
