COMMUNITY FORUM ON HOMELESSNESS |

Community Forum
Homelessness in Walnut Creek Tuesday, July 26 | 6-8 PM
Walnut Creek City Council Chambers
City Hall
The Walnut Creek Homeless Task Force is hosting a free public Community Forum on Homelessness. A hybrid event, the forum will be held in the Walnut Creek City Council Chambers, City Hall, and via Zoom for attendees who prefer to participate online. Masks are required in
|
|
council chambers. The forum is designed to give community members and business owners a platform to learn about the
homeless services and continuum of care available to unhoused people and those at risk in Walnut Creek, and what actions are being taken by the City and the County to address homelessness. For this fifth in a series of forums, the work of the Walnut Creek Police Department Homeless Outreach Program, HOP, will be showcased with a Conversation and Q&A with the WCPD HOP Team. Additionally, representatives from several agencies that work together to provide homeless services will be present for opening remarks and Q&A. Virtual attendees must RSVP. Click here. For more information, visit WCHomelessTaskForce.org.
