Greetings readers!

Today, I want to offer two conversations on homelessness. One is hyperlocal. The other comes from Austin, Texas.

First is a panel discussion I moderated in partnership with HELP of Ojai on Nov. 19th, during Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week. I had the opportunity to speak with representatives from HELP of Ojai, the Ojai Unified School District, and the Ojai Valley Family Shelter about food and housing insecurity in the Ojai Valley.

The discussion begins with an introduction from HELP Co-Executive Director Jayn Walter. The final 20 minutes are Q&A.
