I want to thank each person who participated in the 6 Community Conversations on Homelessness in the Washington area. The Washington community responded with empathy, compassion and respect on the issue of homelessness.
These conversations were a partnership between the Washington Community Relations Board and Washington Public Library. The American Library Association supported the program with a $3,000 grant and training materials. Thank you to the volunteers who worked on scheduling, training and facilitating conversations.
I am happy to report that at least one high school student experiencing homelessness found shelter as a result of these conversations.
A report summarizing the conversations is posted on the Washington Public Library website – www.washmolib.org.
Thank You,
Nelson Appell
Director, Washington Public Library
