This virtual symposium brought together researchers, practitioners, and advocates to answer: 1) What have we learned about addressing homelessness and housing insecurity during the COVID-19 response, particularly for people of color; and 2) Given the profound uncertainty of what happens next, what should we be prepared for going forward to best support people of color experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity?
In this one-day symposium, we heard a range of perspectives informed by formal and completed research, works in progress, and stories from the field. The event included two keynote speakers, panel discussions, and facilitated breakout sessions. Presentations emphasized the research, policy, and advocacy implications of the identified topics.
This event made possible through the generous support of Richard Royse and Rocky Blumhagen.
