Thank you for joining us for our spring Policy Forum examining homelessness in California on May 19! This event brought together many leading experts — policymakers, scholars and advocates — who covered the causes of the state’s homelessness crisis the policy approaches intended to correct it.

We encourage you to read our latest policy brief written by Jialu Streeter, a SIEPR Research Scholar and our Director of Partnerships. The piece outlines many of the issues we’ll address during the Policy Forum. And please visit this page in the days ahead for event recordings and additional information.
