Housing, Race, & Homelessness: Ending Poverty in the Bay Area

Register: https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-05-23/housing-race-and-homelessness-ending-poverty-bay-area

Ending poverty in the Bay Area will require innovation, partnership, and pro-active, anti-racist strategies. Join us as we come together to outline how we can build a future where everyone has a stable home that enables us to pursue our dreams, raise our families, and build the lives we want to live. In this virtual “fireside chat”, we’ll hear from a variety of voices across the movement to end poverty in the Bay Area, including former Stockton Mayor and Founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC) Michael Tubbs and All Home CEO Tomiquia Moss, as we explore the ways that housing instability is interconnected with racial inequality, poverty, and homelessness.

This virtual event in honor of Affordable Housing Month in May will begin with a chat with former Mayor of Stockton Michael Tubbs, moderated by Tomiquia Moss, outlining his five point platform for ending poverty in California. Then a panel discussion with representatives from broad cross-sector partners will take the conversation from principles and concepts to action items and concrete next steps.
