The homeless population is growing in our community. According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Housing and Homeless Dashboard, as of July 31, 2022, there are 2,667 people experiencing homelessness in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. Join us on October 27th for a special program discussing homelessness, including insights from the 2021 Housing Instability Report by the UNCC Urban Institute. What challenges and needs do people without homes face? How can we be involved in finding solutions?
This program will offer a panel discussion. Art by Michael Bennet (Kazier Art) and Jah Smalls will be on display at the Little Rock Cultural Center and available for purchase. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to the organization Roof Above. Jah Smalls will also read some of his poetry after the panel discussion. The art and poetry inspired Michael and Jah from conversations with people experiencing homelessness.
