Undertanding Homelessness in Central Oregon
Tuesday, February 25, 2025, 1700 - 2030
Open to the public, this event provides our community with an opportunity to learn more about homelessness in Bend, address concerns, and speak with representatives of multiple agencies that focus on work with our unhoused population.
From 5:00-6:00 p.m. there will be an opportunity for the public to speak with staff from local agencies working to address homelessness. Attendees will be able to tour mobile outreach vans from Mosaic Medical, Shepherd's House, and the COIC Workforce team.
From 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. a moderated program will explain the homelessness Continuum of Care, highlight results from the local Point-In-Time (PIT) count, and feature the personal story of someone’s journey out of homelessness. A panel of representatives from REACH, Home More Network, Shepherd's House, Central Oregon Villages, and Central Oregon FUSE will share efforts, challenges, and successes in tackling homelessness.
From 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. the panel will address questions that have been submitted by the public.
Finally, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. attendees will be encouraged to revisit agency booths, continuing the conversation, and learning how they can contribute to alleviating homelessness in our community.
This event is sponsored by: Westside Church, Mountain View Community Development, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon, and Bend Church Open Door Ministries.
