DESCRIPTION:Creating Smart Solutions to Homelessness:\nA Countywide Community 
 Engagement Summit\n\nSaturday, Dec. 1 **10am - 4pm**\nCabrillo College 
 (Dining Room in Building 900)\nLunch and snacks provided\n\nWhat can we do 
 about Homelessness in Santa Cruz County? The question itself strikes a 
 passionate chord, with strong and divergent views in the community. There 
 are many public and community based organizations providing programs and 
 services to people who are homeless. Law enforcement and emergency response 
 resources are used to address symptoms of homelessness. Neighborhoods, 
 parks and business districts are impacted by homelessness, often in 
 significant ways. However there is common ground - we all want less 
 homelessness. \n\nNo single entity or program can address these issues on 
 their own. We need a community-wide response and that means each and every 
 one of us has a part to play. \n\nWould you like to be part of the 
 solution? Please join us at a community-built and countywide conference on 
 homelessness with these objectives:\n\n·      Create broader and more 
 diverse community engagement on homelessness.\n·      Develop better 
 communication & coordination among those concerned about these issues.\n·  
     Improve understanding of the realities of homelessness in Santa Cruz 
 County.\n·      Share information about proven, successful models and 
 solutions working in other communities including some that are taking shape 
 in Santa Cruz County.\n·      Develop a shared vision for change and 
 agreed upon action steps.\n·      Form an ongoing community leadership 
 group to carry the work forward on shaping policies to address 
 homelessness.\n\nWe are seeking participation from all geographic areas of 
 Santa Cruz County and representatives from all stakeholder groups including 
 business, faith-based organizations, service providers, neighborhood groups 
 and service clubs, law enforcement, elected officials, professionals, and 
 people who are homeless or formerly homeless. Spanish language translation 
 will be provided.\n\nEvent registration is required - go to eventbrite at 
 http://www.smartsolutionstohomelessness.org to sign up. If you have 
 questions please contact Phil Kramer, Project Coordinator at
