The city of Avondale will hold a Homelessness Solutions Symposium in February, bringing together key stakeholders, local businesses, community leaders, experts, and those directly impacted by homelessness.
This symposium aims to establish a platform for open dialogue and knowledge exchange, fostering collaborative efforts toward meaningful solutions, a press release explains.
The event is scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28, at the Avondale Visitor & Conference Center, 11490 W. Civic Center Drive.
The symposium will feature presentations from the city’s SONAR (Street Outreach Navigation And Resources) program, along with community partners, to provide updates and facilitate the exchange of ideas. Joining this event will be the consultant team from Public Works, LLC, currently working with the city on developing a Strategic Plan for Homelessness Resolution. The Strategic Plan on Homelessness Resolution will provide a roadmap for the citywide response to housing insecurity, homelessness, and resource needs over the next five years.
"We believe that by bringing together diverse perspectives, expertise, and experiences we can generate effective and sustainable solutions to address homelessness in our community," Brian Planty, the city’s homeless services manager, stated.
The symposium looks to encourage participation and engagement, and provide a platform for attendees to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding homelessness issues. There will be food and refreshments, and a chance to win door prizes, for attending participants.
