Panelists include:

The HOME Foundation emphasizes affordable housing, offering a first-time homebuyer program, housing counseling, and income-qualified rental units. Morgan will share her vast knowledge of homelessness and housing insecurity in the area that is often hidden and more widespread than people think.

Krista Shawley, Shelter Director, CentreSafe
CentreSafe offers an emergency shelter and other services for people in the area leaving situations of domestic violence or who are survivors of sexual assault. Krista will share her experiences working with and finding housing for some of our most vulnerable residents.
